Let us tell you that fake sweets are very dangerous for your health. This not only causes food poisoning but also creates many other health risks. Therefore, it is important that while bringing sweets from the market, you should identify fake and real sweets.
How does tampering happen?
Those who adulterate Mawa i.e. sweets made from Khoya use synthetic milk, urea, starch, arrowroot, detergent etc. To make synthetic milk, semolina and wet glucose are mixed. Fake milk cake is prepared from these things. To give color to sweets, yellow and tartrazine colors are added to them, which are very dangerous for health.
See how to identify real and fake candy
If you are going to buy sweets at the shop then do not pack sweets just to see the color. First of all identify whether the sweet is real or fake. If the candy looks too colorful, don’t take it. Try it with your hand, if the color reaches your hand then do not buy it. Take the candy in your hand and rub it a little, if it becomes sticky then do not buy it. Smell the candy, if it looks old don’t buy it. If the work on the candy comes off when you remove it, then the silver work is not genuine. You can also check the quality of the candy by smelling it. If you’re buying sweets, take a sample and place it in a bowl of hot water. Now add a few drops of iodine to it. If the color of the candy changes then understand that the candy is fake.
