Pollutants in turmeric and red chilli powder


Beware of the spices that go into the food you cook for your family. The market is full of players who trick consumers by giving them a very deep red colored chilli powder and turmeric powder that is full of chemicals. The Indian kitchen is incomplete without the use of red chilli and turmeric powders; just ensure that you are not feeding poison disguised as food to your family.

Usually consumers demand for a deep red colored chilli powder and this has led the manufacturers of this food item to indulge in dyeing with carcinogenic dyes. Be alarmed; the heavy usage of these dyes increases the risk to cancer.

Lead chromate is a chemical used in manufacturing turmeric powders; the chemical adds to the colour and weight of this spice powder, and also heightens the risk of lead poisoning.

AgriGold India thinks it has a greater responsibility towards the country and its people, and strives towards giving the people hygienically prepared and fresh food products. The company considers the mixing of pollutants in food products to be a blasphemy.
