In a shocking video doing the rounds, thousands of flies were seen swishing around in sugar syrup that was used for soaking Rasgullas in a sweet-making factory in East Delhi’s Dallupura village. The video that was posted on social media by a journalist has 53000 views and has sparked public disgust and raised questions about food safety ahead of one of India's largest festivals.
In the video, one can see a broken-down house which reveals a chaotic backyard where men prepare sweets in large vessels apparently unconscious of their surroundings. There are tubs with rasgullas swimming in sugar syrup, having dead flies floating in them indicated by black specks. The camera zooms to focus on a crowd of flies flying around the blue containers supplying syrup to the sweets, showing total disdain for hygiene in production.
The video was captioned as “Diwali ke rasgulley kha lo,” referring to the unhygienic state of the sweets soon to be on sale during Diwali. Since then, the post has gone viral and people are talking about the unhygienic conditions in which it was being made.
One user said, “This is dangerous,” and advised that one should consider making homemade sweets to avoid all such potential health risks.
Another one said, “Eating sweets on Diwali is like inviting death. It would be better to promote dry fruits to keep your health intact.”
Many echoed similar sentiments and demanded a shift towards cleaner and safer alternatives during the festive season.
The video has once again cast a question on the food safety standards, more so when sweets are in such demand during the peak season. Confectionery warehouses commonly face congestion and improper storage; the mass-produced sweets have again lost public confidence due to this revelation.
As recent video footage of its consumption during festive seasons surfaced, sweet production has been brought under greater awareness and hygiene checks. Public health advocates ask consumers to exercise more caution and opt for safer alternatives like dry fruits or homemade sweets this Diwali.
Given the onset of the festival season, this case marks the larger imperative demand in having enhanced hygiene clarity while producing and selling foodstuff items in general and within unorganized settings in particular.
