Beware! How to Spot Adulterated Ginger-Garlic Paste: Health Risks & Simple Tests
•Hyderabad seizure of 4,000 kg adulterated ginger-garlic paste raises concerns about market products.
•Adulterated paste can cause stomach irritation, indigestion, allergies, and long-term health issues.
•Perform a water test: good quality paste won't separate; separation indicates adulteration with stabilizers.
•Check texture by rubbing: real paste is sticky; thick, dense paste suggests added rice or wheat flour.
•Identify by color and smell: natural paste is light brown/white with a strong aroma; abnormal color or faint/chemical smell indicates adulteration. Always check FSSAI label.
