FSSAI Shares Simple Home Tests to Detect Adulteration in Jaggery

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has shared simple home tests to detect adulteration in jaggery, a common sugar alternative. Tests include mixing jaggery with water to check purity and using hydrochloric acid to identify additives like washing powder or baking soda, which cause bubbling. Consumers are also advised to assess jaggery's color, texture, and taste to ensure quality and avoid health risks from adulterated products.
