Through this paper, intend to compile different types of adulterations made in different food items, the health risks imposed by these adulterants have even been classified as toxic, carcinogens or cancer causing substances. Usage of new technologies like Genetically Managed, Nano-tech foods, functional foods are very much profitable and helpful for our food processing and food production. FSSAI about food safety and regulation have ensured the development of various techniques like physical, biochemical/ immunological and molecular techniques, for adulterant detection in food.
