In the recent past, food adulteration has assumed a serious proportion leading to health hazards. Whether it is raw vegetables, fruits, meat item, milk, sweets or spices, every single item is mixed with cheap and dangerous ingredients for the purpose of making more profit. It is very difficult for the consumer to select one food item because of misbranding, misappropriate proportion of ingredients, use of chemicals and harmful materials in food. As a result of these malpractices, the ultimate victim is a consumer, who innocently takes adulterated foods and suffers.
