A variety of iftar items -- peaju, beguni, jilapi, aloor chop, etc are available in hotels and restaurants during Ramadan. In almost every hotel and restaurant, these iftar items are getting coloured with various toxic chemicals so that they can have a splendid look and easily attract the consumers. According to the health experts, these iftar items are very unhealthy and may cause many health hazards. We should avoid eating such harmful iftar items.
