Clever Ways To Tell If Your Food Is Fake Or Not

Chalk and salt

It’s incredible just how many things aren’t actually what they say they are. You would think that something like salt is so small that people wouldn’t bother messing with it. However, tests have discovered that some of these granules actually contain chalk, an ingredient you definitely don’t want garnishing your meal.

This unpleasant addition can be identified by stirring salt in water and seeing what happens. If there’s chalk in the mixture, it will turn the liquid white. Again, we’re fortunate not to have this problem here, but it’s unfortunately quite common over in India where adulterating is a common practice.
