France 24’s Thursday report highlighted the public-health stakes of food adulteration in India, where it said some cases have had fatal consequences; the sector feeds more than a billion people each day.

The broadcaster said adulteration cases have increased, with some carrying fatal consequences. It also described growing concern about poor hygiene.

The report linked those food-safety concerns to the challenge of overseeing India’s sprawling food system.
