n a recent action, the Karnataka government banned colouring agents in food items such as candy cotton and Manchurian. Among 171 samples of Gobhi Manchurian, 107 were found to contain restricted colours, along with 15 out of 25 cotton candy samples. However, questions arise about guaranteeing that these banned colours are not being used in foods available in Pune. The artificial colours used in food colouring pose long-term health risks such as cancer and are visibly present in various foods sold at stalls and restaurants. Speaking to Free Press, Dr Abhijit Vaidya, a Cardiologist and National Chief of Arogya Sena, stated, "Artificial colours are made from chemicals. It is not possible to meet the public's needs with natural ingredients. Artificial colours should be completely banned. These colours are not intended for food colouring but rather for aesthetic appeal to attract customers." He also shared his experience with butter chicken being red, causing his fingers to become stained, highlighting the difficulties in removing the colour.
