Why are there so many videos of workers doing food prep on the ground? WHY THE GROUND? Why not put a bin down there and do the packing on a table?

If I see any food marked “Made in India”, I just assume it touched some Indian guy’s foot.

Never been so glad I don’t eat ice cream, let alone out of a cone. How is this even allowed??

Sadly, but if I read in an edible product the legend “Made in India”, I decline to buy it. It’s bad because I like Indian food, but you never know to what extent quality controls are really enforced in such products.

Man “food safety” and “cross contamination” are words that just don’t exist in India.

Baskin Robbins uses ice cream cones made in India. Enjoy.

About 10 years ago I opened a music instrument business and shortly after that I was contacted by an Indian company offering to make one one of the instruments for me. I asked for some sort of sample and they sent me a video from the “factory floor” (I wish I kept the video). It showed 4 guys in a small room, working on the floor, with shit lighting and 0 safety standards just banging out parts. It was so bad I showed it to my wife and asked her if it was bad advertising or a cry for help

There’s a limit on the amount of bug parts that are acceptable upon inspection of many foods. What they don’t talk about is the amount of toenails one might also find.

I’m pretty sure this is for domestic consumption but on the off chance it’s not, always check the label folks.

What happens when you don’t regulate the company

Isn’t there a subreddit for unhygienic food handling? I thought stupid food is about food that looks stupid?

You didn’t care before you saw the video.
Instead of hoping, just imagine everything you eat comes from a place like this, or worse.

So often with these, it feels like it ultimately just creates more work overall to be as filthy and messy as it is.

Hey I work in IT but I do so in a food plant in the US for a major company that you have heard of. In order to sell in the United States, European Union, Great Britain, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and a couple other countries we are required to follow strict health code and safety laws that require a lot of continuous inspections from outside agencies. You will never find conditions like this in any plant for any major brand that you have heard of. This is most likely dubiously legal in the country they both make and sell these. I won’t go into all of it but there are very obvious health code and safety violations in this that you will likely never find in the food you eat if you get it at a grocery chain in any of the above listed countries. Obviously, steel tipped or composite tipped boots, capture clothing that you put on in the plant and leave when you are done(that are cleaned by a company and that you only wear that day), cleaning stations including handwashing, boot washing, leaving soil food waste on the ground and not putting it in with product, sanitation managers, safety operators, quality testing for mold, moisture, weight and contamination as well as a hundred other procedures are put in place to ensure that food is safe. Selling unsafe food is bad for business and businesses like to make money and you can’t do that drowning in recalls, bad press, avoidable workplace accidents and gross food. So hopefully you live in a country that requires food safety standards.

Where else are you getting your (relatively speaking) cheaper foods from? Its not just the taste you need to worry about

I know its a joke but for anyone curious all food sold in to the US has to meet US sanitary and phytosanitary standards which are hardcore, the perception that the US has weak food safety standards is pretty bizarre. My favorite is when people point out the insect pieces requirements the US has ignoring that other countries have no limit on how many insect pieces food contains.
A few countries (NZ, Aus & Canada) the US has reciprocal regulatory agreements with so food produced in these countries are assumed to meet US standards as their regulatory system either already meets the standards or has regulation for US bound food that meets it.
In the case those are not in place FSIS allows specific goods to be imported from specific countries based on how similar their regulatory environment is. There are a bunch of things that just can’t be imported because they inherently can’t meet US standards (eg some cheeses, some types of meat USDA haven’t approved for human consumption – basically a bunch of delicious shit we can’t get) or there is a conflict with local regulation (eg all meat sold in the US has to be washed to reduce surface contamination, very effective to reduce campylobacter incidence, but most of the EU don’t allow this so most meat from the EU can’t be sold in the US).
TBH the most significant concern with imported food is labeling and origin rules. US labeling laws are stronger but they just assume the local label laws will catch errors and trust a translation instead of requiring a recert. US origin rules are based on where ingredients come from not the product itself so when you buy imported Italian olive oil that is relatively likely to be made with Moroccan olives (Italy produces significantly more olive oil then they produce olives to make oil from), if you buy olive oil bottled in the US the origin is where the olives come from not where its bottled.

Well if you live in North America the chances of your cones coming from there are pretty low.
