Paneer is a powerhouse of nutrition and is often consumed by vegetarians as a rich source of protein. Unfortunately, in recent times, this diary item has gone under a lot of adulteration. According to a recent report by Navbharat Times, the team of Food Safety Department in Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand seized around 4000 kg of fake paneer.
According to the report, fake paneer was being transported in two buses, and was brought from Bakhtiyarpur and Maner in Bihar, which was to be supplied to Ranchi, Hazaribagh and Ramgarh.
Paneer purity test
Use iodine tincture: To test whether the paneer is natural or artificial, one can use iodine tincture. Add water to a pan, place the paneer in it, and bring to a boil. Let it cool down; then add a few drops of iodine tincture and see if the color changes to blue, which means the paneer is artificial.

Try the hand test: Take a small amount of paneer and mash it using clean
hands. Pure, unadulterated paneer will hold its texture, while adulterated paneer-often made from skimmed milk-will crumble or reak apart under slight pressure.
