Bipasha Basu seeks Tukaram Mundhe’s help after she finds worms in protein powder: “You are our only hope”

Actor Bipasha Basu has raised concerns about an alleged contamination issue involving a jar of Isopure protein powder.

On Thursday, the actor took to Instagram Stories to share a video in which she claimed to have found tiny worms inside a freshly opened jar of the product.

In the video, Bipasha showed what appeared to be a small worm on her finger and claimed that there were several others inside the container.

“This Isopure is full of small worms.

Tiny, tiny worms.

The new dabba that we’ve opened,” she said while showing the contents.

“These are the worms inside it, full of it,” Bipasha further alleged.

The actor also tagged Tukaram Mundhe, Commissioner of Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), seeking his intervention over the alleged issue.

In her Instagram Story, she wrote, “@tukaram ias You are our only hope ..

So we don't get spoilt or adulterated stuff in everything we purchase.” Bipasha's post comes amid increased attention around food safety and hygiene concerns involving products and establishments in Maharashtra.

However, the actor's allegation regarding the protein powder has not been independently verified.

The incident also comes shortly after Bipasha made headlines for her digital cover appearance for Elle, where she spoke about her work, motherhood and making bold choices despite being advised against them.

Her latest Instagram post, however, focused on a consumer concern rather than her professional projects.

Tukaram Mundhe's Food Safety Crackdown Bipasha's decision to tag Tukaram Mundhe comes against the backdrop of the FDA official's reputation for strict enforcement of food safety and hygiene standards in Maharashtra.
