One person alleged that two cities in two cities in Finger Food Kurkur, popular by PepsiCo India, included “very different materials”. He claimed that in Delhi, the Kurkur uses “dangerous” Pamolin (Palm Oil), while a packet from Bengaluru does not.
Pamolin is one of the cheapest, most processed oils, which is associated with health risks, he highlighted.
In a viral linkedIn post, Vedanta Khanduja, former Bazaar of Ola Electric, said, “The same kurchure. Two cities. Two very different materials. Delhi, you can be some dangerous.”
Khanduja shared that he had bought Kurkur in both cities only to find out that the pack he had bought in Bengaluru had no palmoline, but in Delhi. He said, “I read Kurkur Label, No ‘Pamolen’. Back to Delhi, I bought again. This time, Pamolin was on the same pack,” he wrote.
Concerned about the alleged tendency, he asked, “If Bangalore gets a ‘better’ version of Kurkur, then why not Delhi too, why not everywhere?” He said that it is not only about a snack, but “about fairness, transparency and brands accountable.”
Vedanta Khanduja appreciated the Revent Hissingka, the hashtag labelapadegandia of the aka Influencer Food Farmer, and said that his incident with Kurkur is “proving that the pack reflects the truth, while the front only sells satisfaction.”
How did PepsiCo respond?
Vedanta Khanduja questioned that improper practice of the brand, PepsiCo India allegedly came to him to clarify that Pamolin had been removed from all the Kurkur batches produced after August.
Therefore, he said, the difference he saw was still due to the old shares in the market.
Here’s how Netizens reacted:
Social media users were stunned by the difference and said that manufacturers should be held responsible.
A user said, “Very true, Vedanta! This is a serious issue that we should justify manufacturers.”
“Such an important observation, Vedant. Each consumer deserves the same quality and fairness,” said another.
“People in Delhi can avoid toxic air … I suspect whether non -palmolin oil will justify it,” a user jokingly said.
However, a user suggested that it could be related to the brand. “PepsiCo sells Kurkur under brand names.”
“” Kurkure: Cheap version available on local grocery stores etc. (what you must have bought in Delhi)
2. Lehar Kurkur: MRP is usually 20% higher than the counterpart. For premium retailers/high traffic places such as metro/railway stations, mall kiosks, etc., he said.
Meanwhile, a user claimed to have the same experience with a separate brand, “I have written on the advertisement of the product on the online app and what we receive, the difference in the ingredients of real juice has been seen.”
Another user suggested that it is best to switch to an alternative snack. “I have moved to any palm oil and maida snacks. There are many of them, just a little more expensive. If we stop consuming them as consumers, they will stop selling them.”
