Cancer-causing chemicals found in pani puris in Karnataka

The FSSAI collected 260 samples of pani puri from across Karnataka and found 41 to be unsafe as they contained artificial colours and cancer-causing agents, a Deccan Herald report said. Another 18 were deemed unfit for human consumption due to poor quality. Chemicals and artificial colouring agents like brilliant blue, sunset yellow and tartrazine were found in pani puri samples.
