Like most consumers, I had always been fond of snacks such as Brittania Biscuits, Cadburies Milk Chacolate, Lays Chips and Maggi Noodles. A few days back my brother forwarded a Utube video on WhatsApp. That was the end of my road to such snacks. I have stopped buying such snacks.
This video brought out some shocking facts about consumer food items that are sold in our country after getting labelled as vegetarian products as stipulated by the Guidelines of FSSAI. The presenters of the video say that Companies use non-vegetaran items as Emulsifiers and Acidity Regulators when manufactuing their products. Although they do mention these by code numbers, they don't list these conspicuous substance/s in the 'Ingradients' section of their products.
However what is mentioned in the video may or may not be true. But when analysing the food manufacturing scenario in our country, I think that the contents in the video are true.
I think that our Central and State Governments should look into this issue seriously and ban Companies from manufacturing and marketing non-vegetarian products as vegetarian.
I deleted the Utube video as soon as I got the relevant information. Probably readers of my post may find the video from Google Search.
