Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao told TNIE that these 54 shops which were seen violating basic cooking standards have already been fined for using plastic sheets. “Many vendors across different areas have been following this method of preparing idli and since the public is largely unaware of its health risks, the department started a statewide drive. As of Wednesday, 251 shops had been inspected and the number is expected to rise as the drive continues,” Rao said. Steaming idli using plastic sheets can be carcinogenic due to the release of harmful chemicals when plastic is exposed to high heat. Many plastic sheets contain chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which can leach into food when heated.
