Fake Paneer Alert: Dangerous Imitations Sold in Bhopal
Some restaurants in Bhopal are selling fake paneer, a type of cheese, that can make you sick.
This fake paneer is made with chemicals instead of milk, so it's not healthy.
Eating it can cause tummy troubles and even damage your liver and kidneys over time.
To check if your paneer is real, you can boil a piece and add iodine; if it changes color, it's likely fake.
Always buy paneer from stores you trust to stay safe!
Fake paneer, made with starch, detergent, adulterated oil, and chemicals, is being sold in Bhopal.
Consumption of synthetic paneer can cause food poisoning and long-term damage to the liver and kidneys.
Artificial paneer is sold at a lower price point (Rs 200-300 per kg) compared to authentic paneer (Rs 400-500 per kg).
A simple iodine test can help identify if paneer is adulterated with starch.
It's crucial to purchase paneer from trusted sources to avoid health complications.
