Plastic In Kurkure

Plastic In Kurkure

Is there plastic in kurkure? Kurkure is a highly popular Indian snack liked by young and old alike. In fact its got a pretty heavily devoted following amongst the children. Its a Pepsico product. Lately there has been an email circulating that there is plastic in kurkure and if you burn kurkure you can see the plastic melting. For mothers with an addicted brood of kurkure eaters and followers thats tough news (or welcome news, if thats your cue to start the kurkure de-addiction process, whichever way you tend to look into it). Kurkure of course has responded with an ad "No Plastic in Kurkure," which means the allegation has found a response amongst kurkure users and maybe also has affected sales.

We have known for long that Pepsi and Coca Cola and maybe other MNCs take the lives of Indians lightly and dont really follow the same stringent rules they follow in Europe, USA and Australia when they manufacture their products here. There are enough loopholes in our processes to enable them to get away with it. And why blame them. Our system co-operates with them, as it co-operates with all big business that provides revenue.

It upto us the end users to discriminate and turn back to home-made products for "health"

Here's Kurkure's side of the story.

Totally agree Kurkure is a timepass healthy snack..and there is definitely no plastic in it. But just pushing it in chain mails just for effect, is going a bit too much.Compared to other snack food in its catergory, Kurkure has stringent norms of production and manufacture. The fact that it is a Pepsi brand makes it even more credible as a consumer product. Coming to the plastic, I think it is an eyewash. Come on, any food product with corn starch and about some 25 to 30 percent oil will react in this way..creating an impression that it is plastic. But Kurkure has no plastic, for sure.

I personally feel any snack that can get children addicted to such an extent cannot be really upto too much good. Anyways I have given the link to Kurkure's side of the story to be fair. So its upto the kurkure eaters and their Moms to decide. I have started the Kurkure de-addiction process at home. My Xomba Page

Kurkure Plastic Rumors

kamalsaini80 - Mon, 2009-8-6 4:03 am
I agree. All these Kurkure Plastic rumors are baseless. Kurkure is made of edible ingredients that we use in our household kitchen. This is just an unnecessary scare about Kurkure containing plastic that is being spread around. No Worries about Kurkure. You could attempt to burn it and you know what? It will burn and the reason being its got huge percentage of corn starch in it. So don’t worry and happy munching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmM8ewyVrfo

No Plastic in Kurkure

Hi, As you said it is an email that is being circulated on people's inbox saying that there is plastic in Kurkure, there is no possibility of it being true as the mail is not verified by any authenticated source then why should one believe it to be true. I eat Kurkure and I know there is no plastic in Kurkure as no authentic agency has verified this gimmick. On the Kurkure website too they have mentioned that there is no plastic in Kurkure and the mails that are being spread are only rumors. I suggest not believing on such rumors.
