Public Reactions And Similar Complaints
The clip generated a surge of responses on Reddit, as users recounted their own disturbing experiences at restaurants. One user remembered encountering red ants in one of the city's finest restaurants, saying, "People in this country don't take hygiene seriously." Another condemned franchising concepts, saying, "Brands franchise stores and can't monitor owners. Why do owners and employees lack responsibility?" One South Delhi user posted about an earlier experience at another Theobroma location, where they discovered plastic inside a brownie, and added, "The staff discarded it and still charged me.
Food Safety Under Scrutiny
This incident follows a series of food safety concerns in India, in the wake of recent scandals such as the arrest of a Mathura hotel owner for washing dishes in toilet water. The Theobroma video has sparked calls for tighter control and inspection for consumers' safety.
Theobroma Yet To Respond
Theobroma has not made an official statement on the Mulund West incident so far. Not responding has fueled online backlash, with customers demanding action.
