Consuming fake cheese can prove to be very harmful for health. Hazaribagh doctor Nikhil Anand also says that consuming fake cheese can cause damage to food poisoning, kidney and liver. Apart from this, if it is consumed for a long time, then it is like calling diseases like cancer.
It is very difficult to differentiate between real and fake cheese. Both look alike, but there are some ways that people can check before eating cheese whether the cheese is real or fake. Hazaribagh District Food Safety Officer Prakash Chandra Guggi says that it is difficult to differentiate by looking at fake and real cheese, but it can be identified in these ways.
Find out reality for 20 rupees
He informed that iodine solution is available in the surrounding medical store, which is available in the market for 25 to 30 rupees. Paneer can be easily examined with this chemical. If a few drops of this chemical are put on a piece of fake cheese, it immediately turns black, while there is no change in the real cheese.
