Mawa must also be made entirely from milk. Adding potato or sweet potato for starch and mixing milk powder in mawa is not permitted," the food official said. In case of mustard oil, usually priced at Rs 200 per litre, is being sold at Rs 140/lin the open retail market when mixed with palm oil. Ammonium nitrate, which is very harmful, is being added for adulteration, according to the FSO. "We are also running a campaign ‘Ruco' (re-usable cooking oil) against adulterated oil. During the campaign, the inspection team checks the quality of edible oil in the restaurants and hotels. Adulteration in mustard oil is not possible. Especially, adding chemicals is completely illegal. Many a times, mustard oil is mixed with palm oil. If palm oil is used after being heated for a long time, its quality decreases and can cause various diseases. To determine its quality, there is a machine called total polar compound measuring equipment. If its needle goes above 25 reading, it means the oil has gone bad," the FSO said.
