The festival of Holi in North India witnesses a surge in the demand for sweets, savouries, milk, and milk products like ghee, Khoya, and paneer. However, this spike in demand also brings along the threat of substandard and spurious products flooding the market, which could pose severe risks to public health. Consumers need to be cautious and vigilant while purchasing these food items during the festive season to avoid falling prey to counterfeit products that may compromise their well-being. It is imperative for authorities to step up monitoring and enforcement measures to ensure that only quality and genuine products are available to the public, especially during this time of heightened consumption. Vigilance and awareness are key to safeguarding public health and promoting a safe and enjoyable festive experience for all.
