A viral video has sparked outrage in India, exposing the alleged unhygienic practices in a bread-making factory located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The video, titled "Bread Making in a Factory," has left many viewers questioning the safety and cleanliness of commercially produced bread.
The clip begins with a worker dumping large bags of flour into a massive dough mixer. To prevent sticking, a generous amount of oil is added, raising concerns about excessive fat content. The dough is then portioned, weighed, and placed in molds before entering a large oven for baking.
After baking, the bread is transferred to a mat for cooling, handled directly by workers without gloves. The video then shows the bread being sliced by a machine and packaged by another worker, again without gloves.
