A Study in Perspective of Laws and Legal Trend Related to Food Adulteration

Abstract

Adulteration is a very serious problem posing serious health risks in India. In every product there is adulteration. Starting from our daily groceries, it moves on to our life saving medicines. The sinners have not spared even infants' milk products. India has revamped its system of food law, from multi-level, multi-department to one strong food law system. It was created in 2006 by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Taking the current adulteration of the foodstuffs in India into account, the task force was set up to propose amendments to the Food Safety and Standards Act. Poor implementation of the current Food Safety and Standards Act, particularly in governments, was also a problem. Testing and analytical capability in India's official food security units is insufficient to handle a distribution system that feeds close to 1.3 trillion people. Efficient resource appropriation for regulatory units, institutional enhancement and capacity building, improved strategic and organisational co-ordination between institutions, student commitment to address adulteration by including adult forms, and easy steps to locate them in their curriculum. Using student power to train adulterants on the harm of adultery and to ensure that they are completely confidential in order to eliminate from India adulteration and the related problems.

Study of Impact of Mycotoxins on the Human Health

“…According to a survey, the highest concentration of zearalenone contamination occurred in North and South America, Central Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia. This confirms the contamination is strongly dependent upon regional climatic conditions such as excessive moisture, temperature, humidity, drought, insect damage and agricultural practises [6,13]. Mycotoxins enter food supply via direct contamination from mould growth on the food consumed.…”

“…The GI tract acts as a filter against harmful mycotoxins. When a person intakes contaminated food, mycotoxins can alter normal intestinal morphology and functions, thus, leading to change in the diversity of gut microbiota [13][14][15].…”
