Abstract

This article provides information about the risks associated with formaldehyde contaminated food and formaldehyde in natural foods. which is important in choosing to consume food with confidence This is because formalin may have adverse effects on health. Consumption of contaminated formalin can cause allergies and food intolerances. and affects the body's immune system, such as asthma or inflammation of the respiratory system While formaldehyde in natural foods is generally safe and has health benefits, such as aiding digestion and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. For protection and management, We can choose to consume safe food. Read food labels carefully. and cook food in the proper way to reduce formalin levels Understanding the risks and value of formaldehyde in food can help us make confident food choices in our daily lives. People who have allergies or are at risk should consult a doctor or pharmacist for recommendations and appropriate management.
