Concern over hygiene standards as video of bottled water being packaged emerges (Watch)

Friday, August 21, 2026 - A video showing staff members at a local water bottling plant packaging water into bottles has sparked concern over hygiene standards.

The video was shared by one of the staff members on social media, seemingly unaware that it would attract widespread attention and raise questions about the safety of bottled water.

In the video, workers are seen using their bare hands while handling the bottles during the packaging process, prompting concerns among social media users over possible health risks to consumers.

One social media user expressed concern over the hygiene practices, saying:

 “Hygiene standards in water bottling are non-negotiable; bare hands on product that’s meant to be consumed is a real risk, especially in a country where waterborne diseases still kill.”

Another user said the video had reinforced their decision to only purchase bottled water from well-known companies.

“That’s why I always stick to reputable companies when it comes to bottled water,” the user wrote.

Watch the video.

The Ministry of Health should close this small kiosk in the name of water company. You cannot handle drinking water without wearing gloves; this is definitely unhealthy pic.twitter.com/2YDwXDuQcK
