Does Kurkure have harmful effects?


With the latest Maggi fiasco at hand, I suddenly came across a question by someone on the ubiquitous social media space about why Kurkure isn’t banned from the country too!! I mean I understand the panic created over the recent findings with the decades old Nestle product but that’s no reason to take a dig at another popular snack.

The fact remains that Kurkure does not burn because it contains plastic but because it contains carbohydrates and vegetable oil. Elements like rice, corn and gram meal, edible oil, seasonings, salt, spices and condiments make for high content of starch in any snack. These are the primary ingredients of the Kurkure products. Also this makes for a high content of oil than water in the product. Hence Kurkure tends to roast in fire and leave behind an oily residue. In the Kurkure burn video this residue is famously claimed to be the melting plastic. Even the smell that is supposed to be that of melting plastic is nothing but one belonging to burning starch.

The Kurkure company has been following all the stringent rules that pertains to food safety, quality and regulatory requirements. Hence one need not be doubly cautious about the Kurkure manufacturing. Kurkure is not, I repeat not harmful for your health. It’s not an unhealthy snack but rather a crispy, tasty and safe snack to be enjoyed with in all possible times. Pair it with your favourite bhel or sev puri or make a standalone evening snack out of it, the Kurkure products are not dangerous to your health.  You can gulp them down with your favourite beverage too.

What else, they have the all new Kurkure Butter Masti as the latest offering from the stable of delicious snack range. Try them and I bet you will want to have more – the butter simply transports you to a dreamy world.
