A video showing the preparation of soya chaap at an Agra factory has caused a stir online, leaving netizens horrified and vowing to never eat the popular vegetarian dish again. The video, now viral, has raised serious concerns about food hygiene and safety practices, prompting calls for stricter regulations on street food.
The clip, shared widely across social media platforms, has garnered millions of views, leaving many viewers feeling nauseated. Reactions on social media ranged from disgust and calls for a ban to assurances that the final boiling process would sanitize the dish. Many users tagged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), demanding immediate action against the makers.
While some were concerned about the apparent lack of hygiene, others were shocked by the choice of ingredients, specifically the heavy use of flour (maida) in the preparation. Several commenters expressed their intention to never eat soya chaap again, citing the video’s revelations as a deterrent.
Soya chaap is traditionally made using a combination of soy chunks, soya beans, and flour. The video’s depiction of its preparation, however, has cast a shadow over the dish’s appeal, highlighting the importance of proper food safety measures and the need for transparency in food production.
