These 5 special sweets are the most victims of adulteration.
There is a huge demand for sweets during Diwali. Taking advantage of this, the adulterators present in the market indulge in adulteration of sweets made from khoya. It is worth noting that khoya is often adulterated using synthetic milk, detergent, urea along with other dangerous chemicals.
Like khoya, sweets made from chhena are also heavily adulterated. To increase the hardness of Chhena, adulterants add arrowroot or other cheap ingredients in large quantities. Most of the complaints of adulteration in the market are seen in the case of these sweets.
Many people also use laddus to distribute in their institutions or among their employees. In such a situation, there is a lot of consumption of laddus in the market, adulterators play with people’s health by using cheap or adulterated gram flour and adulterated ghee oil in them.
Along with Soan Papdi, Kaju Katli is also one of the most used sweets on Diwali. Seeing the huge demand, adulterators adulterate Kaju Katli by adding cheap things like peanuts or maida instead of cashew nuts and using fake flavor and colour. In such a situation, keep in mind that you are buying sweets from your trusted shopkeeper only.
Speaking to Local 18, Food Safety Officer in-charge Swatantra Srivastava said that during festivals, some people with profiteering tendencies play with people’s health by adulterating food items. To tighten the noose on such people, the department is continuously conducting raids and sampling. If any case of adulteration is found, strictest action will be taken.
