Amid the recent cases of food safety issues in India, another video surfaced on the internet where a family discovered a dead mouse inside a sealed chocolate syrup bottle.
A family recently shared a distressing experience on Instagram after discovering a dead mouse in a bottle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup ordered from Zepto. Prami Sridhar posted a video revealing that three family members had consumed the contaminated syrup, with one requiring medical treatment.
The incident occurred last month when the family ordered the syrup to accompany brownie cakes. Suspicion arose after they noticed small strands of hair in the syrup, prompting them to inspect further. Upon emptying the bottle into a disposable cup, a dead mouse was found. The video even shows a family member washing the mouse under running water to confirm its presence.
“Guys, please be aware of what you’re eating and feeding your kids. This is extremely concerning and unacceptable. We are worried about the health risks and the lack of quality control. Please address this issue immediately. I demand a full investigation and assurance that this will not happen again,” Ms Sridhar wrote in her post.
In another case, a passenger, Mathures Paul, shared his troubling experience on social media, raising serious concerns over food safety on Air India flights.
“Air India food can cut like a knife. Hiding in its roasted sweet potato and fig chaat was a metal piece that looked like a blade. I only realized it after chewing the food for a few seconds. Thankfully, no harm was done,” wrote Paul, a journalist, in his post.
Paul criticized Air India’s catering service, stating, “This incident doesn’t help the image I have of Air India. What if the metal piece had been in the food served to a child?”
