Viral Video: A viral video on the social media platform X has raised serious questions about the hygiene of street food. Some bloggers were filming a simple golgappa challenge video. Everything seemed normal, when suddenly, a strange sound came from a water container. At first, no one understood, but when they got closer, they were stunned.
A live rat was seen floating in the golgappa water. The sight shocked everyone present. The rat was immediately removed and all the water was thrown away. The video clearly shows that if attention had not been paid in time, the same contaminated water could have been served to people.
Some bloggers were filming a simple golgappa challenge video when suddenly a noise came from the water. Upon closer inspection, they saw a live rat floating in the golgappa water. They immediately pulled it out and had all the water thrown away.
The camera was on, otherwise what would have happened?
This incident has raised a significant question. If the camera hadn't been on and the video hadn't been recorded, this incident might not have come to light. Imagine how many people might have unknowingly consumed the same water. This incident clearly illustrates the importance of being cautious when purchasing food or drinks from roadside vendors.
Questions about the hygiene of street food
Popular street foods like golgappas are relished. However, this incident has raised concerns about cleanliness and hygiene. While it's not uncommon for food items stored outdoors to become infested with dirt, insects, or rats, it's only when caught on camera that the issue becomes a topic of discussion. Therefore, lack of proper water monitoring could pose a serious health risk.
Think twice before eating street food.
After the video surfaced, users reacted sharply. One user wrote, "Such carelessness directly compromises public health. The administration should take strict action." Another added, "From now on, I will think twice before eating anything outside. It's our responsibility to maintain cleanliness."
