Identifying Aluminium Foil on Sweets
These days some sweet wallahs are applying aluminium foil instead of silver foil which is very dangerous for us.
Adulteration in silver foil can be easily identified by gently wiping the top layer of the sweet. If the silver residue sticks to your hand, it is definitely aluminium. Also the quality can be checked by burning the material, genuine silver foil burns away completely leaving glistening white spherical ball of the same mass while aluminium foil is reduced to ashes of black grey colour.
If FSSAI has any more info, they should share with us. more

Silver foils of Gold foils, since the public can not know the real stuff they are made up of, it is better to ask the the sweet makers NOT TO USE ANY FOILS AT ALL. more

It should be made mandatory for sweet shops and all others to specifically display that genuine food grade silver foil is used. Any violation must be heavily penalised by discarding such products and 5% of product cost as financial penalty. more

People should not purchase aluminum foiled sweets. If people keep them unaware it is them to suffer. Nobody should spoon feed the fool adults. On Thu, Mar 9, 2017 at 8:19 AM, Bharat Lal wrote: > more
