We are what we eat!

“We are what We EAT” - a saying that is true to its words. The truth behind the words holds quite true to our health. Eating fresh fruits reflects fresh look on our face. Eating fresh vegetables reflects in our immune system. Eating pure food reflects in our overall health. Or shall we say eating “unadulterated” food reflects in our overall health and downsizes the existence of falling prey to critical diseases which occur due to the prolonged intake of adulterants in food.

Adulteration has become a part and parcel of the food products that we eat. 90% of society buys food items without questioning the source of these food items; the physical, chemical or biological vulnerability in the processing units, the hygiene and safety measures in the warehouses where these are packed and stored... all these factors in the value chain make a lot of difference to the quality of food.

At Sahara Q Shop, Quality holds the prime value in all the processes of the entire value chain. The elimination of Food adulteration is vital to the growth of our next generation. We as the society have to take vigil action against adulteration by saying no to Adulterated Food. It’s time we declare Fight Against Adulteration!

Say Yes To Good Food The Q9 Way!

After joining hands with the consumer market to curb Food Adulteration by enabling Adulteration free staples, pulses, spices, oil, sugar, processed foods to every household, SaharaQ Shop has delved its branch to the second level where the common man goes and consumes food in the moments of celebration, get together or when out of home.

Yes, we are talking about Hotels, Restaurants, and other forms of Catering services which offer food to the citizens of India.

The hotels, restaurants and caterers can now reassure their food credibility by using Q9 range of products which carry the Q mark and are manufactured and processed as per Sahara Q Shop quality standards.

Time To Say No To Food Adulteration!

Yes, we do deserve the best quality of living! But are we victimizing ourselves consciously by compromising on health? Indeed yes! Irrespective of where we live in any corner of India, we are knowingly consuming adulterated food, depriving ourselves of a quality life. It is we who can stop food adulteration. The more aware we are about the consequences of adulteration and stop buying and consuming adulterated food, lesser will be the prospects of food frauds in cheating people and healthier will be the society. Let us not plague the prospects of a healthy society that we can give shape to.

Someone has rightly said, ‘together we can, together we will’. Consumer awareness on a large scale can only help control adulteration. Many a consumer blindly buys food products without checking the ingredients, quality parameters, expiry date and other crucial information. Consumer awareness is the need of the hour. No wonder we are victims of many lifestyle diseases including chronic that affect us both in the short and long run – cancer, liver disorder, kidney problems, stomach disorders, digestive problems, glaucoma, skin diseases, and the list goes on. Unless consumers are aware of the menace of adulteration and become health conscious the situation cannot be brought under control.

It has been since 1899 that the laws regulating the quality of food have been in effect with several states formulating respective food laws until 1954. And then the Prevention of Food adulteration Act (PFA), a central legislation was enacted in 1954 by the government of India. The legislation came into force from 15 June, 1955. This was followed by coming into effect of the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA) in 2006. Irrespective of the Acts enacted, are government authorities able to curb the menace? It is a big No! It is only when consumers are aware and fight united that food adulteration can be contained. Say no to food adulteration by fighting against the menace.
