The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a warning against using newspapers for serving, packing, and storing food items. The ink used in newspapers can contain harmful colors, pigments, and additives that can make the food unhealthy. Newspapers made of recycled paper may also be contaminated with metallic contaminants and harmful chemicals. Using newspapers to soak oil from food items is also discouraged, as it can cause chronic toxicity.
