Mysore/Mysuru: Despite stringent laws framed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the age-old practice of packing takeaway food in used newspapers persists, posing severe health risks to consumers. Vendors across hotels, bakeries and roadside fast-food joints continue to defy these regulations, ignoring the potential dangers associated with this practice.
The harmful chemicals and inks used in printing newspapers can mix with food products, potentially leading to cancer and other life-threatening diseases. This issue is especially alarming considering the rising number of cancer cases in India.
