Tamil Nadu bans colourful papads

The Tamil Nadu Food Safety Department has banned the sale of coloured papads containing excessive amounts of artificial colouring. Tests found that many papads contained artificial colours in excess of the prescribed limit. Popular among children, experts say these colours can cause digestive problems, allergies, and kidney problems. The FSD further warned that children consuming such products could be more vulnerable to allergic reactions and behavioural problems, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Why were coloured papads banned?

According to the Tamil Nadu Food Safety Department, inspections revealed that certain manufacturers were using artificial colours, including non-permitted synthetic dyes, to make papads appear brighter and more attractive. Officials warned that these colours violate the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations, prompting the state-wide ban.

Are coloured papads harmful?

Not every coloured papad is unsafe. The concern lies with papads made using non-permitted or industrial-grade synthetic colours. Regular consumption of such products may pose health risks, especially if they contain chemicals that are not approved for food use.

Health experts say prolonged exposure to harmful food dyes may cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, digestive problems and hyperactivity in some children. Certain unauthorised synthetic colours have also been linked to more serious health concerns when consumed over a long period.

Papads made without artificial colours or those using FSSAI-approved food-grade ingredients remain safe for consumption.

FSSAI's advice for consumers

FSSAI has advised that consumers prefer traditionally prepared papads made from ingredients such as urad daal and rice flour. The officials have further clarified that use of approved food colours within prescribed limits is permitted under food safety regulations. Parents have specifically been urged not to purchase brightly coloured papads solely because they appear attractive to children.

Mets’ Luis Robert Jr. back, ready to play his game after 'frustrating' extended absence

· Yahoo Sports

Luis Robert Jr. didn’t expect to miss much time when he first landed on the IL. 

Visit afnews.co.za for more information.

The oft-injured slugger had been progressing well in his recovery, but his neck didn’t respond to treatment how the Mets had hoped, leading to an extended absence. 

Robert, sidelined since late-April, landed on the 60-day IL. 

After weeks of building himself back up in the minors, though, he was finally deemed ready and was activated prior to Monday night’s series opener against the Brewers. 

“The process, it’s no secret it was a long one,” he said through a translator. “It was difficult and frustrating -- but now I feel good thank God, and I’m just here and ready to go play my game.”

Before being sidelined, Robert stood alone as the Mets’ everyday centerfielder. 

Top prospect A.J. Ewing filled in admirably in his absence, though, sliding right in as a regular atop New York’s lineup and in the middle of their defense. 

Now with Robert back, it’ll be interesting to see how the playing time shakes out. 

Interim manager Andy Green said pregame that the initial plan is for the 28-year-old to play two-out-of-three days for now, and then they’ll reevaluate things in a few weeks. 

Robert is expected spent most of his time in center, pushing Ewing over to a corner spot.

That’s how things shake out Monday, as he slides between Ewing (RF) and Juan Soto (LF) while Carson Benge sits against Brewers ace righty Jacob Misiorowski.

Green will mix-and-match as he sees fit, but this plan could also change in the next two weeks if the Mets are able to find someone willing to take on Robert ahead of the trade deadline.
