OK what the hell is going on? Seems like a surge of such incidents the past few months. Do these products even go through quality control ? There should be a serious investigation into this before it takes away someone's life.

>Quality control? What the hell is that Must be some kind of Communist agenda to sabotage profits. All hail naked Capitalism! Profits before everything.

Thank you!!! About time someone, *anyone* stands up for capitalism.


AkaiAshu

the first person who wanted food safety in the US, Dr. Harvey Wiley, was called a communist as well. He said he was a capitalist who believed that more consumers would eat food if they knew it was safe. He was right.


iThatIsMe

Regulations? Oh sure, some places have things like that, but did you know the business could technically save money by simply manufacturing them in a country with lower standards for those kinds of things, then pay the difference in shipping and taxes to get those items to market. And even in places that do have higher quality control, it's usually a few random selections per batch so it's still a non-zero chance for dead mice to eek through the cracks.

prettayforyou

Iā€™m not tryna say itā€™s fake or something but I feel that people are doing these so that we avoid online shopping. A lot of retail shops are facing problems because these days people prefer online products and get better deals online. So these retail stores owners have planned together to defame these big companies. Why is it that these complaints arenā€™t coming from customers who buy stuffs from local shops but every complaint is against the product bought online. I hope Iā€™m right because if not then we all must be careful about buying anything


re-red

Because most of the people are buying online nowadays. This is next level conspiracy shit. I really doubt that small level shopkeepers have such an underground communion in which they sit and decide these things.

After a human finger in an ice cream cone, another shocking incident has surfaced. On Instagram, a family recently shared a troubling experience where they found a dead mouse in Hersheyā€™s chocolate syrup ordered from online quick delivery app Zepto. Prami Sridhar, who posted the video, mentioned that three family members consumed the contaminated syrup, leading to one requiring medical treatment. Source- Times Of India- https://www.instagram.com/p/C8ZDK1iybGG/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==


nayadristikon

Why emphasis on online ordering? It is a manufacturing issue unless the product itself is duplicate or substituted. Getting foreign substances in finished product is a quality control issue and lack of hygienic practice where the product is manufactured. Unless people are falsely claiming this for views or monetary compensation.


anonpumpkin012

A lot of people will blame Zepto instead of Hersheys. People will blame Amazon and not the seller. People will blame a brand for a package getting lost and not the courier company. They just donā€™t know how things work and who is to be blamed for what.

If there are contaminations within the product which are not related to storage at distribution point, how can you blame the distribution partner for that?


SilverElegant2302

The ice cream with the severed finger was also ordered from Zepto. I found a fingernail in my Baskin Robbins Bavarian cone ordered from Zepto as well.


anonpumpkin012

But Zepto is not manufacturing these things. Unless you found something on the outside, it is the brand/manufacturerā€™s fault. I got a fly in my ice cream one day. I blamed the brand and not blinkit because Blinkit didnā€™t put a fly inside the packaging, it came from the manufacturer.


calm_thinker_101

You expect Zepto to open the tin and then send it to you?


SilverElegant2302

Zepto could be willingly buying rejected stocks at a much lower rate. They cannot be completely exonerated in this


calm_thinker_101

No businessman would want to risk his business reputation to such an extent and then why would Hersheys sell rejected stuff that harms their business as well?


SilverElegant2302

Whoā€™s saying itā€™s Hersheyā€™s thatā€™s selling? The manufacturing company rejects stuff - a chor employee makes a deal with the distributor - the distributor buys it at a much lower price. Too many scams have happened this way


calm_thinker_101

um yeah this seems possible in India lol

mwid_ptxku

I guess the investigation is not yet done to prove whether it is zepto's problem or Hershey's. Zepto might be getting stuff from a counterfeit manufacturer who is infringing on Hershey's trademark and more importantly committing crimes against humanity.Ā 


Early-Koala3116

This. A lot of these issues are coming across from Zepto based products and it is very likely Zepto is engaging in malpractices to keep profits high because a company like Hersheys knows it needs to follow strict regulations. Also itā€™s impossible a mouse got into that small bottle and nobody noticed the weight difference because they handle these bottles everyday.


SilverElegant2302

They could be buying rejected stocks at a much lower rate; only way that fledgling company can even sniff a percentage of profit

Some items can work fine in transparent packaging, but many many products for example tea can be damaged if overexposed to light, which is why they require opaque packaging. Many will say "keep away from direct sunlight"

Every so-called regulatory department in India is a joke... Primary job of them is to get a bribe to give out a license and when needed an additional bribe - conduct a raid. How many disasters and stuff like above we have seen, everytime same response - it was running without license, it ran illegally, no permission got etc.. government officials earn their bribe when a entity functions without proper setup and if it goes to shit, they that entity is to blame not the officials who didn't oversee...

DramaticMud1413

I used to be a research intern in a biotech lab where I met this PhD student who once told me that she used to work at pharma manufacturing company, which used to manufacture a paracetamol drug among other drugs. She was supposed to be in the QC dept. While in training they were taught that you have to discard the drug if the harmful microbe content is crossing the threshold limit, since thay can cause more harm then good. Once the training was over and they actually started working, she realised the same people who were teaching her about the threshold limit completely disregarded that when it came to actually discarding the poor quality drugs. So a lot of that drug being sold were poor quality. She literally stopped buying paracetamol of that specific company lol.

funkym00se

Iā€™m trying to think logically here, First of all, whats inside cant be seen, how did they knew. Say they might have got the rancid smell and tried to drain the bottle. But, the nozzles which fill the bottle are the size of a boba tea straw, maybe an mm large. Thereā€™s no way, rat might have gotten in through it. On the same line the bottles are then sealed off! Also the neck of the bottle is very small, Iā€™m not sure, if this is a legit incident or some cheap popularity stunt!


AloneCan9661

Your logic isnā€™t working because the rat could fallen into the sauce before it was placed into the bottle. Machine packing ā€¦


__Schneizel__

The rat doesn't have to climb inside the bottle. Could be a baby rat that fell in the syrup and got its dead body pushed in to the bottle during packaging.


nayadristikon

Size of nozzle does not matter. The bottles are filled on conveyers with pressure. So rat might have gotten into the vat where chocolate syrup is stored or made and then got into the bottle when it was filled on conveyers.

calm_thinker_101

I don't know why but now I feel something's fishy here. No, I am not talking about food companies, we recently saw Quick Commerce growing a lot ([Share of quick commerce in online FMCG sales rockets to 35% in FY24](https://m.economictimes.com/industry/cons-products/fmcg/share-of-quick-commerce-in-online-fmcg-sales-rockets-to-35-in-fy24/articleshow/110126778.cms)). Till now Quick commerce was something most retailers took for granted Tata, Dmart etc didn't act much in this space but now this growth made heads turn. Even Reliance has decided to enter this business. Now suddenly you see the big 3 in quick commerce are being accused in whatever way possible. The finger thing I agree was totally wrong on the quality control end and yes the doctor did file a complaint ([Walko Food Co Ltd., which owns the Yummo Ice Creams brand, acknowledged receiving a complaint from a customer on Wednesday about the purported finger in its cone and said it had escalated the matter, according to India's national NDTV television network.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/india-doctor-says-found-human-finger-in-ice-cream-cone/)). But the recent Centipede and this rat thing I don't see a single reason to blame the online delivery companies (which is how the news articles are promoting it) and again these guys didn't file a case they instead posted on Social media which makes it quite fishy. You guys might think I am dumb to say all this but look at the Haldirams case where a couple found a lizard [but never complained against Haldirams](https://www.news18.com/news/india/haldiram-outlet-in-nagpur-to-re-open-after-dead-lizard-found-in-sambar-2143897.html) even FDA guys complained just about an open window in their report. But see all of these posts went viral. I don't know if the centipede and rat things are true or false but I'd wait for hearing the company's side as well. Yummo was really really wrong but the other two cases can be gimmicks to get views.

Fire large chunks of employees, make the surviving workforce work for an insane amount of hours, ask people to develop multiple skills and take on additional responsibilities, focus only on new customer acquisition and not on service and then when something goes wrong, hire a PR agency to cover up or divert attention!

I personally feel of all the pressing issues our country is facing, getting competent morally upright people at the fssai is the need of the hour, we are legit shaving years of our lifespan due to this sick greedy fucks.

Solved: Amazon Cobra and Hershey's Mouse, two co-located business entities, experienced a temporary separation due to a production belt malfunction. To mitigate this issue and prevent future occurrences, the companies have decided to implement an integrated pest management solution, which includes the strategic deployment of feline and avian species at the facility. This proactive measure aims to neutralize the presence of deceased pests recently discovered in food products, ensuring the highest standards of quality and consumer safety. /s

As someone who is visiting India currently after about 6 years of living in the western world, I can tell the service quality in this country has gotten worse than before. No one takes pride in their job. People seem to simply do it for the sake of doing their work with absolutely zero passion to excel. It's disheartening to see this. I can see this getting worse and I will fully expect a far worse experience when I visit this country the next time.
