Beware! Your Diwali sweet may be adulterated

COLLECTED BY: RISHI KAPOOR

Sweets are an integral part of Diwali celebrations. They make your mouth water but what you now need to be on guard as they could be made out of adulterated milk.

So as a customer how can you really ensure that the pedha or burfi you pick up is unadulterated and of the purest form?

"It could generally be in the colour they use or the mava they may use. The foremost thing you can do is buy only from a genuine shop and also understand that someone who may be giving you something cheaper might only mean that he is using cheaper products,” says owner, Aswaad Sweets, Dadar.

“We should buy sweets only from genuine places,” says a customer.

So the trick is to purchase sweets from a reputed shop or buy ones that are less colourful. And it is also important to keep in mind that the product should be sampled to ensure it doesn't have inferior oil or dalda.
