'I would never eat street food after reading this report': Scientists appalled as tests on Delhi food stalls find high levels of faecal matter in golgappa and momo


By Neetu Chandra Sharma

If you are unable to fight the urge to dig into spicy water-filled crispy golgappas or steaming momos, here’s a very strong - and shocking - reason to say no.

A new study has found high faecal contamination in such fast food and junk food items, especially in several west and central Delhi localities.

Underlining that street food and hygiene have always been strange bedfellows, the study by Institute of Hotel Management, Catering and Nutrition, Pusa, shows extremely high volumes of E. coli bacteria, which can cause severe infections, in these snacks.

Taking note of the report, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has written to Delhi’s food safety commissioner to check the quality of street food items.

“We conducted the study to analyse the microbial load in Delhi’s street food. It was done with a survey of commonly consumed street food by 100 individuals,” said Dr Arpita Sharma of the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering and Nutrition.

“We chose five locations in West Delhi, where daily sales were the maximum, for collecting samples. For microbial analysis, five street and five franchisee food products were taken from the most popular shops. We collected food samples (samosa, golgappa, burger and momos) twice from the street shops and franchisee outlets at a one-month interval,” she said, adding that the samples were drawn from west and central Delhi.

To the surprise of scientists, even samples from posh areas like Connaught Place were found to be infected with bacteria.

Other famous markets where samples were tested include Rajouri Garden main market, Rajendra Place, and Subash Nagar. The normal Most Probable Number (MPN) of coliform bacteria is 50 or less as per the Central Pollution Control Board, but it was found to be over 2,400 in the samples of branded burger, vegetarian and non-vegeterian momos and other food items.

The bacterial pathogens commonly found in street eateries are Bacillus cereus (causes vomiting and diarrhoea), Clostridium perfringens (abdominal cramps and diarrhoea), Staphylococcus aureus (vomiting, appetite loss, abdominal cramps and mild fever), and Salmonella species (typhoid, food poisoning, irritation and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract).

“This is a matter of great concern. I would never eat street food after reading this report,” said Dr Shobha Broor, microbiologist at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

“The report literally means that whatever we eat, we are ingesting faeces.”

Mahbub Chowdhury, 46, from Swindon, wiped his bottom using his hands before preparing food at Yeahya Flavour of Asia


A takeaway chef wiped his bottom using his hands before preparing food because he does not use toilet paper for 'cultural reasons', a court heard.

Mahbub Chowdhury, 46, from Swindon, was found to have a filthy bottle in the kitchen of Yeahya Flavour of Asia, which inspectors concluded was covered in faecal matter.

When questioned, he said he filled the empty milk bottle with water from the kitchen taps before using it to clean his backside after going to the toilet.

Chowdhury prepared meat and fish curries at the takeaway, which was run out of a rented kitchen at the Nine Elms pub.

The chef, who no longer works at the takeaway, pleaded guilty to ten counts of breaching food hygiene regulations at Swindon Magistrates Court.

He was fined more than £5,000 last year for ten similar offences relating to food hygiene.

Rosie Heath, prosecuting, said environmental health officers who visited the business in May last year found 'very poor standards of hygiene'.

She said: 'In the kitchen under the double sinks [they] found an empty plastic milk bottle which was extremely dirty and was covered with brown fingerprints.

'When asked, Mr Chowdhury explained he filled the bottle with water from the kitchen taps and used it to clean his bottom after visiting the toilet.

'He did not use toilet paper for cultural reasons. Inspectors concluded the brown finger prints was faecal matter.'

Mark Glendenning, defending, said the milk bottle was never examined and the marks could have been spices.

Chowdhury will be sentenced at Swindon Crown Court.

A jug, called a lota, is filled with water to wash after going to the toilet

Muslims, Hindus and others in India and other South Asian countries, as well as in the Middle East, use water to clean themselves after going to the toilet.

A jug, called a lota, is filled with water, or a hose or bidet shower is used. Traditionally, the left hand is used to wash after going to the toilet, while the right hand is used to eat.

In Islam, there are a set of practices laid out regarding toilet etiquette.

Although they are not compulsory, many devout Muslims follow the teachings.

The Qadaa' al-Haajah code states that one should clean their private parts using water and their left hand, or three stones.

In Hindu scripture, there are also detailed instructions about purifying rituals that should follow urination and defecation.

Why does the picture feature chink dumpling?

The article is about kelings who wipe their asses with their bare hands and prepare food after that with bare hands without washing. All that talk about following ancient religious laws on cleaning hands after shitting are lies. You don't need religion to teach you to use toilet paper, avoid touching anus with bare hands and wash hands thoroughly with soap after using the toilet.
