News India Live, Digital Desk: In summer, the ice cream, which is eaten with great fervor, can prove to be dangerous for your health. In April 2025, Local ice cream and cool drink units were raided by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Karnataka. The raid found that many units were making poor quality products in unhappy conditions. After investigation, notices have been issued to 97 out of 220 shops.
Adulteration has serious effects on health
During the raids, ice creams found dangerous items such as detergent and phosphoric acid, which were being used to make ice cream more creamy and foamy. Famous Physio and Nutritionist Dr. Rebika Pinto said, “This incident of mixing detergent in ice cream is very worrying. About half units received such dangerous activity.”
Disadvantages of eating detergent
According to a study published in the healthline in 2021, the consumption of detergent is extremely harmful. It can cause serious health problems such as stomach irritation, organ failure, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The bleaching agents and chemicals present in detergents are poisonous for humans and are highly harmful for children.
In addition, the alkaline and acidic elements found in detergents cause irritation in the throat, food tube and stomach. Problems in breathing, cough and other breathing problems can also arise. Consuming it for a long time can also cause severe damage to kidney and liver.
Safe option: Homemade ice cream
According to Dr. Pinto, it is more safe to consume prepared ice cream at home instead of market ice cream in terms of health protection. In home prepared ice cream you can use clean and healthy materials yourself, which eliminates the possibility of adulteration.
