According to a report published in a digital daily Medium, rusk is often made with stale bread, which is one of the reasons for the health hazards. One of the main ingredients used to make rusk biscuits are yeast, sugar, oil and flour, but in most store-bought rusk stale loaves are tweaked to make rusk biscuits. Stale breads beyond their expiry may contain pathogens, molds that may lead to diarrhea, constipation and food poisoning. And the same are passed on to the newly packed rusk biscuits.
