Detect Food Adulteration with Easy Home Tests
The fact that there is a need for these tests to exist make me deeply, deeply sad.<p>On the other hand, it is a good reminder of the simple things we take for granted. And I, for sure, am very grateful of the luck I have to be living in a part of the world with "strong" consumer protection.<p>People always tend to complain about regulations, but this is an excellent case in point of why they are needed in the first place.<p>No, my tea will not have metal shavings.  And my milk will not be adulterated with detergents. Or my spices laced with lead for color..<p>(Not that I am under any illusion that some of the products sold here do not contain chemicals known by manufacturers to be unsafe..)
