Madhya Pradesh Plans Ban on Analogue Paneer Citing Health Concerns
The Madhya Pradesh government plans to ban analogue paneer due to health concerns, following similar bans in neighboring states like Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. Analogue paneer is a product that mimics traditional paneer but uses non-dairy ingredients such as vegetable fats and oils. While the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India requires clear labeling, consumers often cannot distinguish between real and analogue paneer. Officials warn that analogue paneer may have adverse health effects if consumed unknowingly.
