Your go-to nimbu pani every summer might not be the best thing to reach for at Mumbai's railway stations this season. An inspection by the BMC's health department has revealed that 77 per cent of the lemon juice samples collected from across the city have failed the food safety and hygiene test. A video showing a man preparing lemon juice at Kurla station in an unhygienic manner prompted these checks.

Apart from the drink itself, the ice used in it too was found unsuitable for human consumption in 97 per cent of the samples. The seemingly-harmless lemon juice Mumbaikars often sip on to beat the heat, might just contain bacteria like the E-coli and result in serious health complications including hepatitis and other infections. Following the unhealthy lemon juice video going viral, the BMC inspected as many as 222 juice stalls across the city, including the ones of major railway stations like Dadar, Churchgate, CST, Kurla, and Mumbai Central among others.
