This document discusses food adulteration in India. It defines adulteration as the addition of unwanted substances to food. The Prevention of Food Adulteration Act of 1954 aims to prevent this by establishing standards for foods. Foods can be adulterated by adding cheaper substitutes, contaminants from poor storage, or toxic chemicals. Common adulterants found in India include colors, preservatives, heavy metals, and filth in a wide range of foods. Widespread testing finds that many foods commonly fail safety standards. This poses serious health risks like cancer and poses an ongoing problem in India.
Food adulteration is the act of intentionally debasing the quality of food offered for sale either by the admixture or substitution of inferior substances or by the removal of some valuable ingredient.

AGMARK is a certification mark employed on agricultural products in India, assuring that they conform to a set of standards approved by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection, an agency of the Government of India.
Without color additives, colas wouldn’t be brown, margarine wouldn’t be yellow, and mint ice cream wouldn’t be green. Here at the FDA, we’re committed to making sure the color additives in your food are safe.
Color additives are used in foods to:
Offset color loss due to exposure to light, air, temperature extremes, moisture, or storage conditions
Make natural variations in color look more uniform
Enhance colors that occur naturally
Provide color to colorless and “fun” foods, like those brightly colored popsicles that are perfect for beating the summer heat.
The FDA regulates color additives used in food and dietary supplements marketed in the United States. FDA is responsible for making sure all foods containing color additives are safe for consumption, contain only approved ingredients, and are properly labeled.
So how do we ensure that these colors are safe?
First of all, the FDA uses the best science available to determine whether there is “a reasonable certainty of no harm” to consumers when the color additive is used properly (at its intended level and for its intended purpose). When the FDA approves a color additive, the Agency issues strict requirements for it. Among other things, these requirements specify :
The types of foods in which it can be used
The maximum amounts allowed to be used
How it should be identified on the food label.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is Adulteration?
• An adulterant is a chemical substance which
should not be contained within other substances (e.g. food,
beverages, and fuels) for legal or other reasons.
• The addition of adulterants is called adulteration.
• The word is appropriate only when the additions are unwanted
by the recipient. Otherwise the expression would be food
additive. Adulterants when used in illicit drugs are called
cutting agents, while deliberate addition of toxic adulterants to
food or other products for human consumption is known as
poisoning.
3. The Prevention of Food Adulteration

17. Not just Maggi, more than 400
other product are rejected by
FSSAI including ones from Tata
Starbucks, Kellog’s etc
Earlier Indian Veterinary Research
Institute discovered in a survey in
2013 that 28 per cent of the eggs
sampled in Bareilly, Izzatnagar
(Uttar Pradesh) and Dehradun
(Uttarakhand) were contaminated
with E.coli.
In 2012, a study in India conducted by the Food Safety Standards
Authority of India (FSSAI) across 33 states found that milk in India is
adulterated with detergent, fat and even urea, as well diluted with water.
Of the1791 random samples from 33 states, just 31.5% of the samples
tested (565) conformed to the FSSAI standards while the rest 1226
(68.4%) failed the test.
21. • It all started with the sampling and testing of Maggi by the
office of Commissioner of Food Safety, Uttar Pradesh and
recognizing the serious food safety concerns. The FSSAI then
advised the Commissioners of Food Safety in various states to
draw samples of Maggi and get the same tested from
authorized laboratories.
Three major violations have been noted by the FSSAI:
Presence of Lead detected in the product in excess of the
maximum permissible levels of 2.5 ppm
Misleading labelling information on the package reading “No
added MSG”
Release of a non-standardised food product in the market, viz.
“Maggi Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker” without risk
assessment and grant of product approval.
22. MSG: The notorious taste enhancer
• Though most of us know it as Ajinomoto, the secret ingredient is
actually called Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).
• What MSG does is that it interacts with the other flavors (mainly
salty and sour) and enhances the taste by triggering the umami
receptors of your taste buds.
• Some of the primary complaints after excessive MSG
consumption are headache, flushing, sweating, facial pressure,
numbness, chest pain, nausea and weakness. Some studies even
found that it can cause brain damage as well as eye problems for
children.
23. Criteria for selection of food
• Selection of wholesome and non-adulterated food is essential
for daily life to make sure that such foods do not cause any
health hazard.
• Although it is not possible to ensure wholesome food only on
visual examination when the toxic contaminants are present in
ppm/ppb level. However, visual examination of the food
before purchase makes sure to ensure absence of insects,
visual fungus, foreign matters, etc. Therefore, due care taken
by the consumer at the time of purchase of food after
thoroughly examining can be of great help.
• Secondly, label declaration on packed food is very important
for knowing the ingredients and nutritional value . It also helps
in checking the freshness of the food and the period of best
before use.
24. • The consumer should avoid taking food from an unhygienic
place and food being prepared under unhygienic conditions.
Such types of food may cause various diseases.
• Consumption of cut fruits being sold in unhygienic conditions
should be avoided. It is always better to buy certified food
from reputed shop.
