In India, people's choice of food is very different. Some are pure vegetarian, some are non-vegetarian. Some people do not eat meat but eat eggs, while now many people have become completely Vegan - that is, no milk, no ghee, no egg, just a completely plant-based diet.

Therefore, it has become necessary to have complete information about whatever we eat. In such a situation, if you look carefully, there is a small colored mark on the packet of every food item - sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes yellow, blue, or black.

Let us tell you, these are not just a part of the design, but give important information related to your health. Let us know what these colors mean and why you should be especially cautious about the black mark.

Green and red marks
Green mark: It indicates that the product is completely vegetarian. That is, it does not contain any meat, egg, or other animal products.
Red mark: It indicates that this product is non-vegetarian. If you are a vegetarian, then pay special attention to this.

So far, most people recognize only these two colors, but the information does not end here.

Now know the meaning of other colors.

Blue mark
This indicates that this product is related to medicine. This means that it can be used for a medical condition, and do not use it without consulting a doctor.

Yellow mark
This indicates that egg is present in the product. Many people do not eat eggs. This information is very important for such people.

Black mark
If there is a black mark on a food packet, then it is an indication that there are a lot of chemicals present in that product. These are added to enhance the taste, give color, or not spoil for a long time, but in large quantities, they can harm health.

Experts believe that excessive consumption of products with black mark can affect the digestive system, liver and kidneys. Including them in the diet for a long time can also increase the risk of diseases manifold.

What to do?
Every time you buy a food item, check the coloured markings on the packet.

Black markings are more common on children's snacks, namkeen, sweets and packaged food - avoid giving these on a regular basis.

If a product has a black marking, it is better not to buy it or use it in very small quantities.

The small coloured markings on food packets are for the safety of your health - they help you make the right choice according to your taste and need. Now that you know what they mean, next time you go to the market, don't just buy by looking at the taste or brand, but also understand the language of colours.
