Local residents expressed utter disdain at the incident while bemoaning the deteriorating food safety and hygiene amongst milk suppliers. Such a behavior is unacceptable, they said and causes immense health hazards. Authorities have decided to probe into the whole matter and determine how well Alam’s actions justify action against him.
The more consumer awareness about hygiene practices grows, the more incidents like these bring accountability to the food supply chain. It becomes a call for stricter regulation on the part of the government, ensuring that public health does not suffer at the hands of such shocking incidents. The latest incident comes on the heels of another viral video in Barabanki, where an employee was caught spitting on rotis at a roadside hotel, which once again fueled the debate over food safety standards in the region.
