Ahmadabad: Exercise Caution! These festive season sweets may not bring joy, but might harm your health if you are not cautious.– -The civic body scanned several sweet shops and sent samples of their mava and mava sweets to Public Health Laboratory for adulteration tests. AMC’s flying squad raided shops and levied fines for unhygienic conditions.-.

According to Atul Soni, quality manager at AMC’s Public Health Laboratory,-“Adulteration is common across farsan and sweet shops, especially during festivals in order to cut the costs.”

“ We recently detected carcinogenic chemicals added in chili powder, which is extremely harmful to health,” he added

Buy sweets in limited quantity and consume them immediately, is his suggestion.

One of the important safety measures which is usually ignored by confectionary and farsan shops, is to mention the manufacturing date, expiry date and storage instructions on the packets. Although this information is vital for the well-being of consumers and also mandatory for packed foods, this is usually avoided by –a large number of  sweets and farsan  shops in the city.

 

Happy and Safe Diwali
