Serving food in newspapers to be banned, as in the cases of samosas, jalaibis. PHOTO: EXPRESS
Official sources on Friday said many shopkeepers in Islamabad provide samosas, pakoras and jalaibies wrapped in newspapers or put in paper bags made of newspapers. Although harmful to health, this practice goes unchecked due to absence of any punishment in existing law of Pure Food Ordinance, 1960.
Replying to a question, the sources said though it has not been proven that printing inks cause cancer, this practice may cause diseases like indigestion and jaundice.
