Some media reports claim that the @MoHFW_INDIA has issued a health warning on food products such as samosas, jalebi, and laddoo.

Recently, there has been quite a buzz online about a supposed health warning from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) regarding popular Indian snacks like samosas, jalebi, and laddoo. Many people took to social media to express concerns over these beloved treats, fearing they might be harmful to health. But before you give up your favorite snacks, let’s dive into the facts.

This claim is fake

In a clear response, the PIB Fact Check team has labeled these claims as fake. They confirmed that there is no advisory from the MoHFW warning against these traditional snacks. Instead, the advisory is focused on general food safety and hygiene practices rather than singling out specific products.

So, if you love grabbing a hot samosa or indulging in a sweet piece of jalebi after a meal, you can continue doing so without worry! Just make sure you’re buying from reputable vendors who prioritize cleanliness.
