SCAM ALERT: Don’t Fall Prey to These Common Pot Noodles

Pot noodles have become a staple food for many people, especially those who are busy and are looking for a quick and easy snack. With their increasing popularity, however, there have been some scams that have arisen, taking advantage of unsuspecting customers. In this blog, we will be discussing some of the common pot noodles scams that people should be aware of so that they don’t fall prey to them.

Fake pot noodles: One of the most common scams is the sale of counterfeit pot noodles. These are often made using cheaper and lower-quality ingredients and may contain harmful additives. These fake pot noodles may look very similar to the real thing, but they can be dangerous to consume. To avoid falling for this scam, be sure to purchase your pot noodles from reputable sources, and always check the packaging and ingredients list before buying.

Misleading packaging: Another common scam is misleading packaging. Some sellers may use packaging that is similar to that of well-known pot noodle brands, in an attempt to trick customers into thinking they are buying a well-known product. To avoid falling for this scam, always check the brand name and logo, and be wary of products that are sold at significantly lower prices than authentic ones.

Out-of-date products: Some sellers may try to sell pot noodles that are past their expiration date. These products can be harmful to consume, as they may contain bacteria or other harmful substances that can cause food poisoning. To avoid falling for this scam, always check the expiration date before purchasing, and be wary of products that are sold at significantly discounted prices.

Poor quality ingredients: Some sellers may use lower quality ingredients in their pot noodles, in an attempt to cut costs. This can result in pot noodles that are not only of poor quality but can also be dangerous to consume. To avoid falling for this scam, always check the ingredients list before purchasing, and be wary of products that are sold at significantly lower prices than authentic ones.

False health claims: Some sellers may make false health claims about their pot noodles, such as claiming that they are “low-fat” or “low-calorie”. These claims may not be backed up by any scientific evidence and can be misleading. To avoid falling for this scam, always check the ingredients list and do some research about the product before purchasing.

It is obvious that pot noodles are a convenient and tasty snack, but it’s important to be aware of the scams that are out there. By following the tips outlined above, you can avoid falling prey to these common pot noodles scams, and enjoy your snack without any worries.

If you are unsure about the authenticity of a product, it is always best to do some research and purchase from a reputable source. It is also important to check the packaging and ingredients list before purchasing and be wary of products that are sold at significantly discounted prices. By taking these simple precautions, you can ensure that you are getting the best quality pot noodles and avoiding any harmful scams.

Man finds rat in bread he ordered on Grocery Delivery app BlinkIt; Company responds

BlinkIt Grocery Delivery App

Food and grocery delivery apps have become a lifesaver for many of us, providing convenient access to the essentials we need without the hassle of leaving the house. But for one individual, this convenience turned into a nightmare when he received a rat with his order.

Nitin Arora recently placed an order on Blinkit, an instant grocery delivery app, for a packet of bread. When he received his delivery, he was horrified to find that a live rat was moving inside the bread packet. Outraged, he immediately took to Twitter to share a post about the experience, tagging Blinkit and using the hashtag #blinkit. The post quickly went viral and was met with strong reactions from the public.

In the post, Nitin shared a screenshot of his chat with the Blinkit customer care executive, who reached out to him after the post gained attention. The company apologized for the incident and stated that they take the concern seriously. They also asked for Nitin’s contact details and order number so they could carry out a further investigation.

However, this wasn’t the only complaint against Blinkit. Other users commented on the post, sharing similar experiences of receiving rotten or stale goods and poor customer service. One person even claimed to have visited the store where the orders were dispatched and found that it was in a state of disarray, full of garbage and insects.

The post grabbed Blinkit’s attention as well. The company instantly apologised for the incident and said that the “concern is genuine”. They further took to the comments section to write, “Hi Nitin, this is not the experience we wanted you to have”, and asked for his contact details and order number for further enquiry.

Dhananjay Shashidharan, Head of Customer Delight at Blinkit, replied that they took serious note of the incident and de-listed the partner store. “I want to assure you, we’ve taken swift action already and de-listed the partner store, even as we are investigating the matter with the store owner. We have high standards for hygiene at all our stores, and with this incident, we have increased the frequency of audits at the store networks,” he said.

These experiences with Blinkit have led some people to question the safety and quality of the products delivered by such apps. With the rise of instant delivery and the convenience it provides, companies like Blinkit need to prioritize customer satisfaction and ensure that the products delivered are safe for consumption. Until these concerns are addressed, it seems that using such services may come with its own set of risks.

Is brunch just a trend or can it help you cultivate great eating habits?

brunch

On weekends, brunch is a meal that mixes breakfast and lunch and is often a laid-back meal celebrating the weekend off work mode. In recent years, it has gained popularity and has been embraced by many as a way to unwind, network, and enjoy a delectable meal. But is brunch merely a fad diet or is it beneficial to your health? This article will examine the brunch’s nutritional worth as well as any potential advantages and disadvantages.

Let’s look at the standard brunch menu first. Eggs, bacon, toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles, pastries, and other breakfast foods are common brunch fare, along with salads, sandwiches, and another lunch fare. Items like smoothies, juices, and coffee, which can be rich in sugar, are also available on certain brunch menus.

A balanced meal with important elements including protein, carbs, and healthy fats can be obtained by having brunch. For instance, whole-grain bread and bagels are excellent sources of carbohydrates and fibre, while eggs are a fantastic source of protein and vitamins. Nuts and seeds can offer healthy fats, while salads and veggies can be excellent sources of vitamins and minerals.

Brunch can, however, also be very calorie-, sugar-, and fat-dense. Brunch foods are frequently heavy in sugar and processed carbs, which can cause blood sugar to surge and contribute to weight gain. Additionally high in sodium and harmful fats, processed meats like bacon and sausages raise the risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases.

Making healthier food selections and reducing processed food, sugar, and bad fats are essential for making brunch a better option. For instance, you could choose whole grain bread, and eggs fried in avocado or olive oil, and serve your meal with a side of fresh fruit or veggies. For smoothies that have additional nutrients, try using low-fat milk or almond milk and adding spinach, kale, or berries.

Furthermore, brunch is frequently provided in a social situation, which may promote overindulgence and overeating. Portion control and avoiding mindless snacking are crucial for preventing overeating. Attempting to eat slowly while appreciating each meal and observing your body’s cues is extremely helpful. 

Brunch is a wonderful opportunity to have a healthy meal while mingling with loved ones. However, it’s crucial to pick healthy foods and consume little to no processed food, sugar, and bad fats. Brunch may be a satisfying and healthy meal that gives you the critical nutrition and energy you need if you eat well and watch your portions.

Some brunch options to try this weekend:
 

Avo toast: Avocado toast consists of two pieces of whole grain toast spread with mashed avocado that has been cut in half, and the pit removed. For a tasty and wholesome breakfast alternative, add some salt, pepper, and lemon juice on top.

Veggie Omelette: For a tasty and filling omelette, whisk together eggs and add your favourite vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. For a well-rounded dinner, serve with a side of whole-grain bread.

Yogurt Parfait: For a quick and simple brunch alternative, layer Greek yoghurt, fresh berries, and granola in a cup or bowl. While the berries and granola offer fibre and carbohydrates, the yoghurt offers protein.

Smoothie Bowl: To make a thick and creamy smoothie, combine frozen fruit, yoghurt, and almond milk in a blender.
