Abstract
Study for food practices and safety measures were done in selected area of Salem which was also validated by the wetlab methods. Result shows that regardless of the age income and religion, all of the groups are well aware the food adulteration and educated people are less prone to the effect. Currently food malpractices are increasing in various places of Tamilnadu and all the measures taken by agencies are failed to detect rapidly and many times it becomes late when the adulteration is detected. Worst scenario is the adulteration of some branded items of the children’s and in the women’s use such as milk cheese, ghee and oils. In terms of adulteration any how all the stores contains adulterated food however branded items contains less percentage of adulteration than local item. This may be caused due to inactive agencies or longer process of legal system
