beverages, and fuels) for legal or other reasons.
• Fertilizers (Urea (Mostly Used), MOP(Muriate of
Potash), DAP(Diammonium Phosphate), TSP) &
Ripening Agents (Formalin (Mostly Used), Ethylene,
Calcium Carbide, Ethephon, Acetylene, Arsenic etc.) are
the main adulterants of Bangladeshi Foods.
What is the use of fertilizer & Ripening Agents?
Samples Tested & Found Adulterated Every Year
Food is said to be adulterated if…

sorders.
Green Chilies, Green Peas & other vegetables
• Adulterant : Malachite Green, Agrimony seeds
• Health hazard: carcinogenic if consumed over
a long period of time
Some Adulterated Foods In Market (2)
Mustard seeds and mustard oil

aucoma
Paneer, khoya, condensed milk and milk

foods etc.
• Metallic Contamination: Arsenic from pesticides, lead from water, mercury
from effluent, from chemical industries, tins from cans etc.
• Packaging Hazards: Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and allied compounds
are used to produce flexible packaging material etc.
Different Types of Food Adulteration
 Cream is adulterated with gelatin, and formaldehyde is employed as
a preservative for it.
 Butter is adulterated to an enormous extent with oleomargarine, a pro
duct of beef fat.
 Brick dust in chili powder, colored chalk powder in turmeric.
 In confectionery, dangerous colors, such as chrome yellow, Prussian
blue, copper and arsenic compounds are employed.
 Pickles and canned vegetables are sometimes colored green with
copper salts.
Some Other Adulterants…
 Carcinogens can convert normal human cells into cancer
cells.
 It is very difficult to say if calcium carbide will translate int
o any kind of malignancy in human body. Though this che
mical is not listed as a cancer-causing agent, it has been d
efined as a carcinogen.
Possible Health Hazards
Spraying Chemicals On Tomatoes (Green)

How The Public Can Be Decieved
• Select fruits and vegetables without spots or necrosis (lesions) and
any abnormality.
• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly with water (preferably)
running potable water before eating and cooking.
• Purchase fruits and vegetables from known dealers.
• Peeling of fruits before consumption and vegetables before cooking
will reduce exposure to pesticide.
• Do not buy and consume cut fruits from open market.
• Throw away fruits and vegetables infected by mold/ fungus.
Advice to Consumer
Some Good Ways To Prevent
The Prevention of Food Adulteration Bill was passed by both the house of
Parliament and received the assent of the President on 29th September, 1954.
• It came into force on 1st June, 1975 as THE PREVENTION OF FOOD
ADULTERATION ACT, 1974 (37 of 1974).
• In this Act unless the context otherwise requires,
– "adulterant" means any material which is or could be employed for
