Viral Video on Chana Dye Raises Health Concerns Over Artificial Food Coloring

Viral Video on Chana Dye Raises Health Concerns Over Artificial Food ColoringPreviousNext

A viral video showing yellow dye being washed off packaged chana has raised public concerns about artificial food coloring in consumables. Dr. Kandarp Nath Saxena, a gastroenterologist, explained that such dyes can cause behavioral, allergic, and gastrointestinal issues, and some may be carcinogenic. Washing may remove only surface dye, as water-soluble dyes penetrate the food and cannot be fully rinsed off. Consumers are advised to check ingredient labels and remain cautious about harmful dyes.
