Answer 1

$\huge \red{answer}$

Adulteration of food commonly defined as “the addition or subtraction of any substance to or from food, so that the natural composition and quality of food substance is affected". Adulteration is either intentional by either removing substances to food or altering the existing natural properties of food knowingly. Unintentional adulteration is usually attributed to ignorance’s, carelessness or lack of facilities for maintaining food quality. Incidental contamination during the period of growth, harvesting, storage, processing, transport and distribution of foods are also considered.

“Adulterant” means any material which is or could be employed for making the food unsafe or sub-standard or mis-branded or containing extraneous matter.

Food is declared adulterated if:

A substance is added which depreciates or injuriously affects it.

Cheaper or inferior substances are substituted wholly or in part.

Any valuable or necessary constituent has been wholly or in part abstracted.

It is an imitation.

It is colored or otherwise treated, to improve its appearance or if it contains any added substance injurious to health.

For whatever reasons its quality is below the Standard

Adulterated food is dangerous because it may be toxic and can affect health and it could deprive nutrients essential for proper growth and development.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Adulteration is one of the trickiest problems we are facing today. It is because the adulterators are too cunning people to be caught easily. Moreover, they seem to be hand and glove with the police and health authorities that be.

It is most unfortunate that today we can hardly get anything in pure form. Milk which is a kind of nectar from God and is meant most for children, expectant mothers, invalids and old people is one of the most adulterated things. What we get is not pure milk of the cow or the buffalo but the chemical milk prepared by mixing several obnoxious things such as caustic soda, fertilizers, detergent powders, shampoo, etc. with refined oil.
