Many people enjoy having rusks with some butter and a steaming cup of tea. But have you ever wondered how they’re made? A video shared a Railways bureaucrat reveals the process, and it’s left people feeling absolutely disgusted. Making of rusks from scratch in a factory. (X/@Ananth_IRAS) “If this is true, I dread having a toast again!” reads the caption of the video shared on X Ananth Rupanagudi. The video opens to show workers at a factory mixing oil and salt in all-purpose flour and later kneading it. As the video progresses, workers can portion the dough into trays and then place them in a large oven for baking. After baking, the bread is divided and subjected to two additional heating processes. However, the unsanitary conditions at the production facility, where workers are not wearing gloves or head caps, have made people uncomfortable. One worker was even smoking a beedi while kneading the dough. Watch the video shared the Railways bureaucrat here: The video was shared on November 20.
