Ban adulterated food
Food adulteration is a common practice in Bangladesh. Many food items that we regularly buy from the local markets contain some kinds of adulterant. Potentially harmful chemicals such as formalin are applied on fish, fruit, meet, milk and other food items. As a result, the nutritional value of these food items is reduced. It also leads to serious health hazards including chronic health problems.
We have the law that prohibits such adulteration, but it is not implemented at all. Government should take notice of this adverse phenomenon seriously.
