BULANDSHAHR(UP): After Maggi — the two-minute noodle snack, it was the turn of Glucon-D — an energy drink, to land in a soup.
A packet of 500gm of the energy drink was found with insects in Bulandshahr district of west Uttar Pradesh.
Following the discovery of insects, the packet was sent for further examination by the officials.
Confirming the development, food safety officer of Bulandshahr Shiv Dass told TOI, "A packet of the energy drink Glucon-D was purchased by Bablu from the Chowk Bazaar area of the district. After opening it, he found insects in the pack, and alerted us."
