fiogf49gjkf0d There is no need to panic much in the long-term about presence of potassium bromate and potassium iodate in the pre-packaged daily bread but excess of anything should be avoided, a top AIIMS official said at an ASSOCHAM event held in New Delhi on Thursday.
“It might pose some danger but no individual eats entire pack of bread everyday, majority of people eat a piece or two at the most, so in the long-term there is no need to panic much as has also been said by the FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India),” said Dr M C Misra, director, AIIMS Delhi, while inaugurating an ASSOCHAM conference on‘Health Security for All.’
“Usage of chemical additives in food items should be minimised and replaced with fresh food items like eggs, fruits, vegetables and other alternatives, besides one should eat everything in moderate quantity,” said Dr Misra.
“There should be no adulteration in food items and if it is there, it should be mentioned about on the packet,” he added.
