- Adulteration not only constitutes a considerable economic problem but also may lead to serious health issues for consumers. As studies indicate that adulteration is even increasing, it is concluded that more research efforts need to be made to protect consumers from health risks and honest producers from economic loss.

Adulteration is a legal violation that occurs when food fails to fulfil the government's set requirements.
- Food adulteration occurs when substances that weaken the quality of food are purposefully or accidentally introduced to it.
- Adulterants are substances that degrade the quality of food when they are added to it.
- Food is said to be adultered when:
- Substitutes for complete or a few ingredients are made from lower-cost or lower-quality materials.
- A food component is partially or completely removed, lowering the food's quality.
- Harmful compounds are used to make it presentable. Or its colour is altered to improve its appearance.
- Anything that lowers the quality of food is either added to it or removed from it.
- Food adulteration is used as part of a commercial strategy to increase profits by using less expensive methods.
- It's also done to make the food look more appealing and as a cheap knock of a more popular dish.
- Consumption of such foods raises the body's toxin level. Many times, the inclusion of chemical adulterants and colours proves lethal and even carcinogenic.
- Examples: Mixing Milk with water, Chilly powder with brick powder, Pulses with stones etc.
