“No Expiry Date,” Viral Post Flags Health Risk Over Missing Details On Snacks At Farsan Stores

In India, there are many farsan stores located in different cities that we often visit to buy snacks. These places offer snacks like sev, bhakri, chips, thepla, and much more. However, these farsan stores have recently gone viral due to their no packaging and details. The issue has sparked a debate online. Read to know!

No Labels On Snacks At Farsan Stores

There is no manufacturer name, no expiry date, no ingredient list, and no MRP. There is nothing at all. This product is likely being made in some hidden, unregulated place and is being sold openly in broad daylight.

In an X post, Nalini Unagar (@NalinisKitchen) raised a major concern over how snacks are sold in local farsan stores. In her post, she shared that there are various farsan shops in India that sell products without proper packaging; they are just kept in transparent packets. She also attached an image of these snacks and highlighted it with a red mark.

She mentioned that these products have no manufacturer name, expiry date, ingredient list, or MRP on them. There is basically no information at all, which makes it look like they could be made in an unregulated or unknown place and sold openly in the market.

From a safety point of view, this feels risky because people do not know where or how it was made. Authorities should take strict action, check such products in local stores, and ensure unsafe items are removed to protect consumers.

Post Sparks Debate Online

The post highlighting how these snacks should have proper packaging details has sparked debate online and divided users.

One user commented, “How many shops will you shut down like this? There are crores of shops like this in our country. That does not mean these are bad; these small shops run on customer trust. Yes, regulation is necessary, but sometimes most of the small shops don’t do this because of the expense, bribe system, and other difficulties they face. These shop owners are just there to make a small profit so that their families can survive.”

“Idk, I see them in every local store, and if this should be banned, then street food and street vendors should also be banned, I feel,” one comment read.

Another user commented, “These shops usually make these products themselves and sell them in their own store or supply nearby shops… and they run on trust as they don’t sell overseas or interstate.”
