Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2023, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Food adulteration refers to the mixing, deception, and substitution of various hazardous substances for high-quality ingredients in the production of food. Typically, food is considered contaminated when it lacks essential characteristics or contains substances of poor quality that are harmful to health. Food adulteration in Bangladesh means by the practice of adding hazardous substances, toxic colours or noxious food additives. Most foods in Bangladesh are contaminated with dangerous chemicals at every step of the food chain, from production to consumption, toxic colours, preservative, used oil, unclean water etc, which cause a number of chronic and non-chronic ailments in the consumers. The issue of food adulteration has gotten out of control for the people of Bangladesh. This article discusses the effects of eating contaminated food on one's health as well as the roles played by the relevant authorities in combating the problem. This goal of this review article is not to shake blame at or disparage anyone. The purpose of this literature is to present current situation of food adulteration in Bangladesh and some possible suggestions in brief.
