In Gorakhpur, food safety and security authorities took 750 sacks (around 30 tonnes) of roasted chickpeas after discovering they were unnaturally coloured with a synthetic yellow color not approved for food use. The supply, sourced from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, was confiscated and banned from sale. Authorities cautioned that consuming such adulterated chana can create liver damage, kidney troubles, and boosted cancer threat, and lawsuit has actually been launched against those entailed.
