As summer temperatures rise, indulging in a variety of ice creams becomes a seasonal norm. However, amidst the delight of frozen treats, concerns over hygiene standards have emerged, particularly with the recent circulation of a viral video depicting operations at a Kanpur-based ice cream factory.
The video, widely shared on social media platforms, captures the process of preparing orange popsicles within the factory premises. Despite the appeal of the final product, viewers were perturbed by the apparent lack of hygiene observed throughout the manufacturing process.
In the footage, a vendor is seen pouring orange syrup into molds before adding milk and placing them in a freezer. Concurrently, the unsanitary conditions of the factory surroundings and the visibly unclean water in the tub housing the popsicle molds have sparked significant hygiene apprehensions among netizens.
Originally shared on the Instagram account @humbhifooodie, the video has incited discussions regarding hygiene standards, with users expressing concerns over the conditions witnessed during the preparation of the popsicles, available for a mere Rs 10 each.
