Govt will investigate restaurants serving foods with liquid nitrogen. The government will soon start investigating the issue of restaurants serving food and drinks with liquid nitrogen in it. Background The Haryana government had recently banned the use of liquid nitrogen, after a man had ended up with a hole in his stomach after consuming a drink. The Haryana food and drugs administration department issued an order under section 3. Food Safety and Standards Act, 2. Central Act 3. 4 of 2. Why is liquid nitrogen considered harmful for consumption Liquid nitrogen, which has a boiling point of 1. Celsius, is used by molecular gastronomy chefs to instantly freeze food and drinks. As it evaporates, liquid nitrogen freezes everything around it, including tissues that come in contact with it. According to experts, food and drinks that are prepared with liquid nitrogen should be consumed only after all the gas has bubbled off. Liquid nitrogen also has an expansion ratio of 1 6. Celsius, meaning one litre of liquid nitrogen at 2. Celsius can expand to 6. What is Liquid Nitrogen It is scientifically known as LN2 and is a coloured, odourless, non inflammable gas. It is a cryogen, which means it is used to create extremely low temperatures. It has a low boiling point of 1. Celsius. The gas is so cold that it is capable of rapid freezing any living tissue coming in contact with it. How and Why Liquid Nitrogen Used in FoodSince past few years, liquid nitrogen is being extensively used by restaurants and food industries to prepare frozen desserts like ice creams, which can be created a moment before serving on the table. It cools any substance immediately. The rapidity of cooling is also responsible for smaller ice crystals which gives a smooth texture to the ice cream. Recently, it is also being popular in preparing cocktails, as it can immediately chills glasses of ingredients. It also adds a smoking effect to the drink. Are there regulations governing the use of liquid nitrogen Liquid nitrogen is permitted as an additive in frozen food as per the guidelines of the national regulatory body Food Safety and Standards Authority of India FSSAI. However, when it comes to the use of liquid nitrogen it is a gray area. There is no clear cut guideline for it and generally it is considered to be a novel technique, which can be used by food business operators. Sources pib.

Pakistan is yet to award the most favoured nation MFN status to India and it maintains a negative list of 1,2. India. The neighbouring country allows only 1. India through WagahAttari border land route. Background As per a World Trade Organisation WTO rule, every member of WTO requires to accord this status to other member countries. India has already granted this status to all WTO members including Pakistan. What is Most Favoured Nation status Most Favoured Nation is a treatment accorded to a trade partner to ensure non discriminatory trade between two countries vis a vis other trade partners. The importance of MFN is shown in the fact that it is the first clause in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade GATT. Under WTO rules, a member country cannot discriminate between its trade partners. If a special status is granted to a trade partner, it must be extended to all members of the WTO. MFN at the same time allows some exemptions as well One such exemption is the right to engage in Free Trade Agreements. This means members can participate in regional trade agreements or free trade agreements where there is discrimination between member countries and non member countries. Another exemption is that members can give developing countries special and differential treatment like greater market access. This special concession are in different forms like reduced tariff rates from developing country imports, concessions that allows developing countries to give subsidies to their production sectors etc. All these exceptions are subjected to strict conditions. Does MFN mean preferential treatment In literal explanation, MFN doesnt mean preferential treatment. Instead it means non discriminatory trade that ensures that the country receiving MFN status will not be in a disadvantageous situation compared to the granters other trade partners. When a country receives MFN status, it is expected to raise trade barriers and decrease tariffs. It is also expected to open up the market to trade in more commodities and free flow of goods. MFN essentially guarantees the most favourable trade conditions between two countries. These terms include the lowest possible trade tariffs, the least possible trade barriers and very crucial to trade relations highest import quotas. The disclaimer only requires equal treatment to all Most Favoured Nations.
