Coloured iftar items pose serious health hazards
Most of the coloured iftar items including the reddish jilapi, the saffron beguni, peaju, potato chop, sweets, biryani and white muri (puffed rice) pose serious health hazards to the consumers as textile dyes, carbide, ethopene and urea are being used to make them look more attractive to the customers, said sources in the Institute of Public Health.
