Answers
Answer:
Adulteration is the process of adding unwanted substances to the food, with similar appearance/colour for making profits. Adulteration is very common today and the most commonly adulterated food product is milk.
Adulteration lowers the quality of food and sometimes, toxic chemicals are also added which can be hazardous to health.
The products are marketed in a tricky manner, which is usually cheating the customers. However, FSSAI has made strong laws against adulteration, it's still not stopping the small vendors and businessmen to cheat customers.
The Annual Public Laboratory Testing Report for 2014-15 brought out by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) says that of the 49,290 samples of food items it tested, 8,469, nearly one-fifth, were found adulterated or misbranded.
