Video of Unhygienic Rewdi Preparation in Agra Goes Viral | WATCH

A disturbing video on Instagram showing the unhygienic preparation of rewdi, a popular Indian sweet, has gone viral, sparking outrage. Filmed in Agra, the footage shows men preparing the sweet in a filthy, unsanitary room with no regard for hygiene.

In the video, a man kneads dough and sugar syrup with sesame seeds on a dirty floor, continues the process on a grimy wall to make it stiff. The men handle the rewdi without gloves, which is disturbingly below basic food safety standards.

Watch the viral video:

It’s really disgusting, especially since there are comments that say it “Needs more foot dust,” while others were sarcastically stating, “So many different flavors: dirt, feet, nails, sweat, wall paint, cement. Yummy.” Someone even asked, “I wonder where did all that wall paint go?

Rewdi is a traditional sweet in India, made using sugar, jaggery, and sesame seeds. Preparation for festivals like Makar Sankranti is commonly seen. Crunchy and chewy is its texture, and due to the high energy content, Rewdi is popular across northern India.

The locations of the video and identities of those involved are yet to be identified, though this video has raised great concern about food safety.
