Subject: Growing menace of food adulteration
Sir,
Through the esteemed columns of your newspaper, I wish to draw public attention to the alarming rise in food adulteration. Milk, spices, edible oils and dairy products are routinely mixed with harmful substances like chalk powder, synthetic colour and starch.
Such adulterated food poses serious health risks including liver damage, kidney failure, digestive disorders and even cancer. Children and the elderly are most vulnerable.
I urge the authorities to take the following steps:
- Regular and surprise inspections of food establishments
- Strict enforcement of the Food Safety and Standards Act
- Heavy penalties for offenders
- Awareness campaigns to educate consumers about simple home-testing methods
I hope the concerned authorities act swiftly to protect public health.
Yours sincerely,
Sanjana
