Biscuits are undoubtedly one of India's most beloved tea-time snacks, but a recent video from a biscuit factory in Punjab might make many reconsider indulging in their favourite treat. An Instagram video revealing how the popular atta biscuits are made at a factory in Punjab's Hoshiarpur has sparked widespread concern over hygiene standards. The video, shared by Instagram user Sukrit Jain (@thegreatindianfoodie), showcases the production process in a Julka Bakery factory located in Hoshiarpur, raising significant questions about food safety and cleanliness.
In the video, a man can be seen pouring what appears to be ghee into a giant container. After the ghee is whipped, he adds atta (wheat flour) to the mix. The machine then blends the ingredients to form a dough. Subsequently, the man adds a liquid that seems to be a mixture of water and sugar, combining it thoroughly with the dough. Once the dough is prepared, it's transferred to a large vessel.
The next step involves the man, using his bare hands, taking portions of the dough and placing them into another machine to shape the atta biscuits. After being shaped, the biscuits are placed in a large oven for baking. Once baked, they are removed and packaged for sale to customers.
Needless to say, netizens had a lot to say about the video and the unhygienic process. "Hygiene left the chat. This looks completely unhygienic," one user commented. "No hygiene, Will never eat," another follower wrote.
