During research it was found that while making Pani Puri "Cancer Causing Chemicals" like Brilliant Blue, tartrazine and Sunset Yellow were found. Regular consumption of high quantities of these chemicals causes severe damage to many significant organs of our body.
Karnataka Health Department has a tough stand on this. Multiple kind of chemicals are mixed in the water of Pani Puri to give it colour.
What Karnataka Health Ministry is Reacting to this Serious Problem ?
At the end of last month, Karnataka's Health Minister Dinesh Gunda Rao said that the use of "artificial colours" has been completely banned in street food like cotton candy, gobi, and kebabs. He further mentioned that during testing many samples of Pani Puri "failed" to maintain the "safety standard".ಕಾಟನ್ ಕ್ಯಾಂಡಿ, ಗೋಬಿ ಹಾಗು ಕಬಾಬ್ ತಯಾರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೃತಕ ಬಣ್ಣಗಳ ಬಳಕೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಷೇಧಿಸಿರುವಂತೆಯೇ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರಾಟವಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ #Panipuri ಮಾದರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಪಾನಿಪುರಿಯ ಹಲವು ಮಾದರಿಗಳೂ ಸಹ ಆಹಾರ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆಯ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಫಲವಾಗಿದ್ದು ಇವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ #Cancer ಕಾರಕ ಅಂಶಗಳಿರುವುದು…

"As the use of artificial colours in the manufacture of cotton candy, gobi, and kebabs has been banned, the samples of Pani puri being sold in the state have been collected and sent for testing. Many samples of pani puri also failed food safety tests and were found to contain cancer reagents."
Gundo Rao further added that Analysis is going on the Testing and health department will take appropriate action on it. "More analysis is being done on this, and after the test report, the health department will take appropriate action.
"At the same time, the public should take special care of their health and refrain from consuming food items that affect our health. Great importance should be given to cleanliness and hygiene,"
Multiple Complaints regarding quality of Pani Puri
“We have received many complaints about the quality of pani puri that is served in streets across the state” said Food Safety Commissioner Srinivas K while talking to Deccan Herald. He told that as soon as complaints were found in large quantities, the Health Department took immediate action on it and collected samples of "Pani Puri" from "roadside stalls to decent restaurants" of the state. "Many samples were found in a stale state and unfit for human consumption.”
Not only Karnataka Government, but Tamil Nadu Government.....
It is not that only the Karnataka Government is serious about food safety but other state governments like Tamil Nadu Government had also banned the sale and consumption of cotton candy in February because dangerous Rhodamine-B and textile dye were found in it. .
