News India Live, Digital Desk: Food Safety: Paneer is an important part of the kitchen of us Indians. Whether it is vegetable, paratha or a royal dish, cheese fits everywhere. It is also considered to be an excellent source of protein, but do you know that not every cheese found in the market is beneficial for your health? Nowadays the business of adulterated and fake cheese is running indiscriminately in the market. This fake cheese may look real like eating, but it can cause serious harm to you and your family’s health. Next time you buy cheese from the market, read the label written on the packet carefully and check these 5 things: 1. Milk fat or vegetable fat? The real cheese is always made of milk, so its packet will have a ‘milk fat’ or ‘milk fat’. If ‘vegetable fat’, ‘edible fat’ or ‘vegetative fat’ are written on the packet, then understand that this cheese is made of milk, not cheap and harmful oils such as palm oil. This can be very dangerous for your heart health. 2. Many manufacturers add maida or starch to increase the weight of the paneer and to show it thick. On the label you will get information in the list of ‘ingredients’. If it has starch or maida mixed, then this cheese is adulterated and can spoil your digestive system. 3. Palm oil is the most favorite of adulterants and the biggest enemy of your health. Milk cream is expensive, so cheap palm oil is used instead. Palm oil increases bad cholesterol in the body and pose a risk of serious diseases like heart attack. 4. Dangerous chemicals are added to many dangerous chemicals such as formalin, detergent and urea to make fake cheese -like fresh for a long time. However, these things are not written on the label, but if the cheese is pulling too much white and rubber, then understand that something is wrong. 5. Milk powder (Milk Powder) several times to reduce the cost of making cheese, ‘milk powder’ or ‘skimmed milk powder’ is used instead of real milk. Although it is not as harmful, but the cheese made from it does not have nutrients and tastes like real milk. If you do not have to compromise with quality, avoid milk powder cheese. Your health is in your hand. The next time you buy cheese, a little caution can protect you and your family from many serious diseases.
