The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a strict nationwide warning against packing or serving food in newspapers. This decision follows a major crackdown in Mumbai. The FSSAI highlighted that newspaper ink contains harmful chemicals, pigments, and heavy metals like lead, which can contaminate hot food and cause serious health issues. Under the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations 2018, using newspapers for food is illegal, and violators will face strict legal action under the Food Safety Act. Citizens are also encouraged to remain vigilant and report such practices. https://www.ptcnews.tv/news-in-punjabi/no-paper-wrapped-snacks-fssai-warns-food-vendors-against-using-newspapers-for-packaging-4425410 #Creator program
