Abstract
Adulteration of food is the fact where food becomes impure, unsafe for consuming and an adulterant is a chemical substance which should not be contained within the food for legal or other health reasons. Adulteration sometimes happened when ingredients are not properly tested, cheap ingredients are used, additives used are not certified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FDA. Recently two shocking facts have happened in India related to the adulteration with chemical additives – one is MSG and Lead controversy of Nestle India product Maggi Noodles and the second is Potassium Bromate & Iodate traces in some bread samples sold in Delhi.
