Mumbai Sansani Desk | Health Alert
Agar aap subah ki chai ke saath akhbar mein lapetkar samosa, pakoda ya anya garam snacks khane ke aadhi hain, to ab saavdhan ho jaiye. Bharat ki food safety regulator agency Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) ne food vendors aur food business operators ke liye sakht nirdesh jaari kiye hain.
FSSAI ne spasht kiya hai ki kisi bhi prakaar ke khadya padarth ko newspaper, magazine ya printed paper mein pack karke bechna ya serve karna surakshit nahi hai. Agency ke mutabik newspaper ki printing mein istemal hone wali ink aur chemicals khane ke saath milkar swasthya ke liye hanikarak sabit ho sakte hain.
Kya Hai Khatra?
Experts ke anusaar newspaper ink mein kai tarah ke chemical compounds aur pigments hote hain jo garam ya oily food ke contact mein aakar khane mein transfer ho sakte hain. Lambe samay tak aise contaminated food ka sevan karne se health par bura asar pad sakta hai.
Health experts ka kehna hai ki in chemicals ke lagataar exposure se:
- Cancer ka khatra badh sakta hai
- Liver aur kidney par asar pad sakta hai
- Digestive system ko nuksan pahunch sakta hai
- Hormonal imbalance ki samasya ho sakti hai
Vendors Ko Di Gayi Chetavni
FSSAI ne restaurants, street food vendors, dhabas aur food delivery operators ko nirdesh diya hai ki ve newspaper ya recycled printed paper ka istemal food packaging ke liye na karein.
Iske badle food-grade paper, butter paper ya approved packaging material ka istemal karne ki salah di gayi hai.
Logon Ke Liye Bhi Salah
Agency ne aam nagrikon se bhi appeal ki hai ki ve newspaper mein lapeta hua khana kharidne se bachen aur hygienic packaging par dhyan dein. Khaaskar garam aur tel wale khadya padarth newspaper ke contact mein aane par zyada risk paida kar sakte hain.
Kyon Ho Raha Hai Yeh Kadam?
Food safety experts ka maanna hai ki desh bhar mein ab bhi kai jagahon par samose, vada pav, pakode, jalebi aur anya snacks newspaper mein pack karke diye jaate hain. Isi pratha ko rokne aur logon ko surakshit bhojan uplabdh karane ke liye FSSAI ne awareness aur enforcement dono par zor diya hai.
Bottom Line
Agar aap bhi akhbar mein lapeta hua samosa ya pakoda khate hain, to ab apni aadat badalne ka samay aa gaya hai. FSSAI ke mutabik yeh sirf hygiene ka nahi, balki gambhir health risk ka bhi mamla hai. Safe packaging mein diya gaya khana hi aapki sehat ke liye behtar aur surakshit rahega.
