Why should we not consume adulterated food materials?

उत्तर
The process of substituting or concealing the quality of food, adding harmful or poisonous substances to food, and misbranding or giving false labels to food is known as food adulteration. The adulterants which are added to food products have harmful effects on our bodies.
For example: Vegetable oil is adulterated with cheaper and non-edible oils such as argemone oil, which causes dropsy, which in turn leads to renal and cardiac failure. Pulses are mixed with kesari dal or with metanil yellow to improve the colour, which can cause carcinogenic disorders, and it can also affect the nervous system.
We should be very careful in buying our food products and should be aware of our rights and actions which can be taken against people who are involved in this crime.
