Madhya Pradesh Bans Analogue Paneer Manufacture, Sale With Immediate Effect

A place called Madhya Pradesh in India has made a new rule.

The rule says people cannot make or sell a food called analogue paneer.

Analogue paneer is fake paneer made in a factory.

Real paneer is made from milk, but fake paneer uses vegetable oil, like palm oil, and other ingredients.

It looks like real paneer but is cheaper.

It also has less protein, which is not as healthy.

The leader of Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, made this rule on Wednesday.

He wants people to make and eat real paneer made from milk.

Some other states, like Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat, already made the same rule.

The rule is meant to keep people healthy.
