Maggi is off the racks in all
retail stores of India with #MaggiBan. If more than permitted MSG and lead
could do it to Maggi, have we widened our eyes enough to recognize the flawed
quantities of heavy metals, harmful germs or carcinogenic chemicals being added
unintentionally to our own food prepared at home?
Aginomoto is a powder researched
to cause cancer on long term usage and we use aginomoto to enhance flavor while
frying Gobi manchuri. Lead finds its simplest way to our belly when we consume
fried hot pakodas or bajji right from the old news papers which are majorly
used to patt off the excess oil instead of kitchen towels. Trans-fats are
condensed when the oil is reused again and again for frying. These trans-fats
are associated with an increase in the free-radical oxidation which is
associated with higher incidence of cancer. One can’t calculate the amount of
contagion possibility when the Golgappawala smashes potatoes by merely jogging
on them.
Crowding food in fridge with less
space between the containers can actually accelerate microbial growth if the
bits of food mix together. Wash thoroughly before you cut fruits and veggies
since the rind could have easily harbored potential pathogens which will be
transferred through knife when you cut them right through without proper
washing.
Many of us taste that little
portion to check the edibility of a stale food in a corner of fridge. Tasting
even a small amount of a spoilt food can still prove very dangerous. Putting
cooked meat back on a plate that held the uncooked meat can still spread germs
from uncooked meat.
Always cook eggs thoroughly.
Avoid foods that contain raw or undercooked eggs which may contain Salmonella
or other harmful bacteria. So, avoid eating raw cookie dough to check taste.
Microwave cooking fastens the
cooking process and is a preferred way of cooking in the competent world with
busy life. What we oversee are the plastic containers which are used for
reheating or cooking which contain cancer causing substances which can enter
food when food is cooked. We don’t seem to be aware that plastic covers to
cover foods are also equally dangerous. These acts may cause biomagnification
and prove dangerous in long run. Instead, we need to use only glass containers
to microwave.
Hence, kindly be aware of the
hazards which are far near than the yellow packs of Nestle Maggi piled on the
shelves of supermarket.
