Love samosa, pakoras and vada pav? FSSAI issues fresh warning on newspaper-wrapped street snacks. Here's why it could be risky

India's food safety regulator, FSSAI, has reissued a stern warning against using newspapers for wrapping, serving, or storing food like samosa and vada pavs.. This practice exposes consumers to toxic chemicals and heavy metals from printing ink, as well as contaminants from handling. Authorities are urging all food businesses, from street vendors to restaurants, to cease this unsafe tradition and opt for approved food-grade packaging.
