Chinese milk and milk products, including infant formula, have been banned in India since 2008 by FSSAI following several incidents of food safety scandals and contamination issues in China. Contaminants such as melamine, a toxic chemical used to artificially boost protein levels, have been found in Chinese dairy products, posing serious health risks to consumers. To protect public health and prevent the entry of unsafe food products, India has implemented a ban on the import and sale of Chinese milk and milk products. India has imposed restrictions on the cultivation and import of genetically modified (GM) crops and foods, citing concerns over environmental impact, biodiversity loss, and potential health risks. While GM crops such as Bt cotton are allowed for commercial cultivation, the approval process for GM food crops remains stringent. Critics argue that GM foods may have long-term health and environmental consequences, prompting calls for more comprehensive safety assessments and regulatory oversight. n 2016, FSSAI banned the usage of potassium bromate, which is a food additive used to improve dough elasticity and bread volume, due to its carcinogenic properties. Studies have linked potassium bromate to an increased risk of cancer, particularly thyroid cancer, prompting regulatory authorities to prohibit its use in bread and bakery products. The ban aims to protect consumers from potential health hazards associated with the consumption of foods containing potassium bromate. Potassium bromate has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Studies in animals have shown that it can cause tumors, particularly in the thyroid and kidneys.
