Adulteration of tea, especially colour adulteration, is
an issue that the Tea Board and the Food Safety and Standards Authority
of India (FSSAI) are addressing through a series of measures.
Apart
from taking action on those who make poor quality teas or mix
adulterants, the Tea Board and the FSSAI are also creating awareness
among the buyers on the quality of tea.
They conducted one such workshop here on Wednesday for tea auctioneers and small bakery owners.
R.
Ambalavanan, Executive Director of the Tea Board, said that the aim of
the workshop was to create awareness on the rules and regulations.
To
give strong colour, adulterated tea is used in many shops. Even if
approved food colour is used, it can lead to health problems if consumed
daily.
