IRCTC food fails Trustified lab test

[Nikhil]

Key findings from the lab report:

Microbiological failure: The most worrying part was the microbiology test, which shows hygiene levels. The meals had alarming contamination, far above safe limits:

- Jeera rice: 70x the safe limit of Enterobacteriaceae (5:06-5:10).
- Dal: 50x the safe limit of Enterobacteriaceae and 4.2x the safe limit for Aerobic Plate Count (APC) (4:44-4:54).
- Paneer sabzi: major failures – 20x for APC, 12x for Enterobacteriaceae and 11x for E. coli (6:09-6:23).

Items that passed: The roti and the dahi (yogurt) cleared the hygiene and contaminant tests, with the dahi result proving the cold-chain was maintained during transport (5:39-5:58, 6:53-7:03).

Conclusion and advice:
The video points out a systemic problem where poor hygiene and bad storage make food a serious public-health risk (3:22-3:25). The creators warn that such contamination can cause nausea, diarrhoea and even jaundice (7:22-7:29).

Haha, always carry your own food.

[Rishi]

Wasn't really expecting it to pass.

[Daksha]

I would've been surprised if it passed the Trustified test.

It's frustrating how Arpit started the video exposing massive systemic issues and then did a complete U-turn at the end.

When your own lab results show 70x the safe limit of bacteria, how can you claim it's a people responsibility and not a system failure? It feels like a total sell-out just to avoid trouble with the government.

The video should have demanded mandatory surprise inspections and regular lab tests for IRCTC, instead of preaching to passengers. No normal person will walk into a kitchen pantry to check hygiene every time they want to eat. Plus, if someone actually gets food poisoning, it's very hard for a regular person to prove it came from train food. The video shows the system is broken, but the conclusion blames the public just to play it safe.

The moment the packet opens, I feel like puking – the lab test wasn't even needed.

[Uday]

Ashwini Vaishnav's rant reel coming soon.

[Anusha]

ROFL, does this even need testing?

Everyone knows railway food is harmful. I even got severe diarrhoea from veg biryani that was made at least 12 hours ago.

[Mahesh]

But I'm wondering, when you cook the food on high heat, how do the bacterial colonies survive?
