As Food Pharmer pointed out, "Most Indians think we are getting sick because of eating at restaurants.

This raises questions about the quality of packaged food we consume daily.
The alarming truth is that India's packaged food has been found to have more sugar, salt, saturated fat, and calories compared to other countries. A study analyzed 4 lakh products across the world, revealing that Indian packaged food takes the top spot in these unhealthy categories.
