The worldwide provision of food is significantly impacted by the widespread problem of food adulteration. The article examines the several types of adulteration, including products mislabelling, dilution using subpar components, and the addition to hazardous compounds. This talks about the harmful effects on human health, including short-term dangers including ingesting contaminated food to lasting impacts including weakened immune and long-term illnesses.
