Perhaps in only a few countries, governments are aware of the safety of drugs and food, until some time ago the governments were careless and the consequences were dire.

Often news was read that 200 people lost their lives due to adulteration of food in a certain place. Then since the regulator of the safety of food and drugs, a separate department was formed for this.

In order to ensure the availability of un adulterated food items to the public, the officers of this department collected and tested the samples of the ingredients available in the markets.

High-level food testing laboratories were established to test these samples. A random sample of any food item is taken at any time from any vendor, retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer etc.

In this way, after collecting the sample from the laboratory, if found substandard, or adulterated, the concerned seller and manufacturer are prosecuted in a special court, in this case, there is a provision of punishment from 6 months to 10 years.

Ever since the makers of these adulterated items are being punished by the court, they have stopped adulteration in food items.
