While this case has surely raised concerns over the hygiene and quality of outside food, It is suggested that there are certain outside foods one should avoid and why.
Cake and Pastries: The worst part with these cakery items is that they don’t come with an expiration date, and you never know how old the base or even the icing is. Hence, it is suggested to avoid such items.
Cream Roll: This sweet delight also comes with a thick filling of cream, which doesn’t come with any expiration date, and because of the flaky crust, it has a salty aftertaste. And as and when it turns stale, it becomes very tricky to judge if it is still fresh or not.
Juices: Whether it’s a roadside stall or a kiosk, you cannot trust the hygiene levels of the food processor and blender used for making the juice, and that could be the root cause of juice-borne illness and stomach infections.
Shakes: Those fancy shakes loaded with whipped cream and frozen toppings are also very susceptible to causing stomach infections and allergies.
Sandwiches: The creamy cold sandwiches available at food stalls also don’t have an expiration date, which may lead to stomach infections and other types of digestive issues.
Open food items: foods like panipuri on the roadside and bhelpuri are often sold in open air and are often prone to food allergies caused by dust and germs, which could be fatal too.
Pre-cut Salads: Those salads behind the glass bars might look tempting, but the dressings used in those salads doesn’t come with any expiry and might cause stomach ache and other digestive issues.
