Who is Revant Himatsingka?
Himatsingka has built a following of 2.6 million on Instagram, where he reveals the deceptive marketing practices of pre-packaged food companies.
He is a Wharton graduate, yes from same college where Elon Musk studied. He encourages his audience to ditch unhealthy pre-packaged meals and junk food for their own benefit.
Himatsingka gained fame in April 2023 when he posted a video about Bournvita’s high sugar content and its misleading marketing as a health supplement for children. This video led to a legal notice from the brand but ultimately forced Bournvita to reduce the sugar content in its product.
Recently, the Food Pharmer shared a video exposing the high sodium content of meals served on Indigo flights. He highlighted that upma, poha, and dal chawal served on these flights contain more sodium than Maggi. Despite their seemingly healthier reputation, these options may not necessarily be better than Maggi, he warned.
Well, last month, a passenger traveling with Air India onboard Bengaluru (BLR) to San Francisco (SFO) found a piece of blade in his meal. Luckily, he did not receive any injury.
But following the incident, the FSSAI inspected the Taj SATS, the Air India catering partner facility in Bengaluru and found out that it was because of automated vegetable chopper had blade which cut out and mixed with veggies.
FSSAI ordered the facility to manually chop vegetables to avoid such irregularities, until new X-ray machines are installed. Apart from this, the FSSAI food and health officers inspected the Bengaluru International Airport facility to avoid such incidents in the future.
