Fareha Shanem, senior dietician of Gangaram Hospital, Delhi, says that the harm that eating fake cheese causes to the body depends on what has been adulterated in the cheese. If harmful chemicals have been added to cheese, then the first thing it affects is our digestion. This can cause stomach upset, problems like diarrhea, vomiting and bloating. Apart from this, there is also a risk of food poisoning.

At the same time, use of detergent can damage our organs like kidneys and liver. If you eat cheese containing chemicals like urea or carci soda, the risk of cancer increases. However, if you have eaten only 1-2 servings of fake cheese then it will not harm the body. But if cheese is consumed for a long time, it can cause harm to the body.

It is also easy to identify fake cheese. You can identify it at home by some methods. Let us tell you the ways to identify fake cheese: –Flame test- Take a piece of cheese and keep it on low flame. If the cheese emits a smell like kerosene or plastic while burning, then it is fake. Detergent or soap has been adulterated in this cheese.

Texture test- Take a piece of cheese in your hand and press it lightly. If the paneer feels very hard or rubbery then it could be fake paneer. Because real cheese is soft.

Taste it and see- You can also identify real and fake cheese by testing it. If the taste of cheese tastes sour, too chewy or soapy, then it may be adulterated.
