Food Safety vis-a-vis Environmental Concerns.

All this is detrimental to agriculture as it depletes the nutritional contents of the produce and also causes bio-accumulation. Human activities are the main cause of global warming, which leads to rapid climate change. The enzymes which help in biological reactions are temperature and pH specific; hence show inefficiency at high temperatures. It’s a really scary situation as all this effects our overall well being .It takes a toll on our health and our body starts reacting adversely to such changes. In such a scenario it becomes imperative that we take care of the food that we consume. In the interest of the holistic development and good health of our family, we need to make sure that we keep in mind the parameters governing The deteriorating air quality (and rising temperatures) in Delhi and adjoining areas, captures the headlines of the newspapers these days. What are we looking forward to?  Some respite from the scorching heat, suspended dust particles, or the result of the same which is the acid rain that pollutes the water bodies and the landfood safety. The repercussions of the same are unbearable as Healthcare facilities in India leave a hole in the pocket. A miserable situation, if one has to shell out major chunk of the salary on medical expenses. `Therefore a smart move requires one to be careful and take all precautions to keep our food safe’.
The goodness of milk should be enjoyed and exploited to its maximum –as it is a wholesome diet. It does not require much effort-thanks  to the Aseptic Technology (processing and packaging) provided by Tetra Pak, which takes care of all our apprehensions regarding safe milk. The technology involves heating milk at ultra high temperature (UHT) at 135 degrees to 150 degrees for 3 seconds, which kills all the bacteria (including the spores) but still preserves all the nutrients. Without the addition of preservatives to the products, shelf life of 3 to 6 months is ensured without refrigeration, in easy to store cartons, which are six layered ( made of aluminium, paper and polyethylene and are 100% recyclable) with no scope for contamination. So in the times when you can’t trust the air that you breathe and the water that you drink at least Tetra Pak takes a leap to provide products that are trust worthy.

 What a convenient option with no compromise on health!  Not only milk but a range of products like lassi, yoghurt, juices, etc are available at all the stores.  Another important benefit of products packed in Tetra Pak cartons is that it forms easy to carry, important part of Tiffin to school, college, workplace and is equally good for infants and senior citizens. It’s the power packed goodness all along the way which is protected from harmful contaminants. With the fear of adulteration haunting us all the time aseptic technology comes in as a boon. The nutrition quotient online course provides one with an edge to understand the facts, myths, misconceptions, etc  related to food safety and equips one  with tools to keep healthy and to be a green consumer(since empty Tetra Pak can be recycled) .  Do not give up, adopt healthier options and ensure food safety. So be hopeful and play your part well!
