Karnataka Gets Spicy About Food Colouring

Posted On: 28.6.2024

Spice lovers beware! Karnataka is getting serious about food safety. They recently banned artificial colours in popular dishes like kebabs and gobhi Manchurian. Why? Tests found these colours could be harmful, causing allergies and even worse. This follows similar bans on sweets and candies.

Violating the ban comes with a spicy penalty: a hefty fine or even jail time! While vendors worry their food won't look as appealing, the government is pushing for natural colour alternatives like beetroot and turmeric. These vibrant options add a healthy punch too!

This move is a big win for safe eating in India. But the heat's not over. More research on food additives and education for both vendors and consumers are crucial. Can Karnataka's fiery stance inspire a nationwide shift towards safe and delicious food? Only time will tell, but this is a promising first course!
