Take action against food adulterators

I was shocked to read the news report published by the Prothom Alo, which shed some light on the dishonest traders injecting silica gel into shrimps to increase their weight. The gel is used in liquid form which becomes solid afterwards. Because of this adulteration, foreign buyers are losing their confidence in Bangladeshi shrimp, which is negatively affecting our shrimp exports abroad. 

Food adulteration in our country has been going on unabated. The government must establish a vigorous monitoring mechanism, along with a strict law, to curb this practice by corrupt traders.
