Ensuring safety and cleanliness is crucial when eating out, as customers trust that their food will be handled and served with care. Yet, sometimes, there are slip-ups in these protocols, which can result in troubling situations. This stresses the need for constant attention and responsibility in the food industry.
Glass shards found inside Milo drink
A viral video circulating on TikTok captured a disturbing moment when a customer stumbled upon glass shards inside his iced Milo at a mamak restaurant. The 26-second clip, which has garnered over 200k views, portrays the aftermath of the unsettling discovery.
“This is what I got when I ate at the mamak.”
The man behind the camera showcases a glass mug previously filled with the beverage, now containing remnants of glass carefully placed on a tissue. The location is identified as Residensi Anggerikwira.
The receipt from the restaurant reveals a typical order consisting of roti canai, roti telur, iced Milo, iced coffee, and drinking water. However, the addition of glass shards to the drink has raised serious questions about food safety practices at the restaurant.
What netizens have to say
The video has got many reactions from people online, with many feeling shocked and worried. One person even shared their own bad experience, finding maggots in their Horlicks at a different place.
“I once found maggots in my Horlicks.”
In defense of the restaurant, some speculate that the issue may lie with external ice suppliers, suggesting that improperly packed ice could have led to the contamination.
“Please don’t blame the restaurant, as they also purchase ice cubes from external vendors. This incident may have occurred due to improperly packed ice.”
Others argue that while tiny glass particles might go unnoticed, the significant amount discovered in the iced Milo points to a potential lapse in quality control from the supplier’s end.
“If the glass shards were tiny, they might not have been visible in the glass. However, this amount is significant. It could be attributed to the quality of ice purchased from the supplier.”
