I’ve heard that Indian street food can be so unhygienic that a YouTuber almost got seriously ill after eating it. There are tons of videos showing Indian street food vendors where the food looks unsanitary and even dangerous.
If you’re local you know where to go but your immune system is also used to the baseline contaminants that exist. To eat street food as a traveler you risk a few days-weeks of stomach upset but after you get through that you’re usually ok for while.
India isn’t special for it, same concerns exist in any country that doesn’t have reliable clean water or well enforced food safety standards. If the FDA, EPA, and USDA aren’t fixed soon this will soon be true in the USA as well.

How do you “ almost” get seriously ill?
more like it almost killed him.
True. But at least it’s cheap. Taco Bell in India is as expensive as a full dinner at a good restaurant.
I mean yeah… That’s what you get when you visit/live in an unregulated, corrupt hellhole.
