Currently there are some some malicious and false video clips circulating on social media claiming that AASHIRVAAD Atta contains plastic and rubber.
We would like to the quote the company’s clarification in this regard :
“ The company has clarified stating that AASHIRVAAD Atta does not contain plastic or rubber. Utmost care is taken in its manufacture at HACCP / ISO-certified manufacturing locations, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and adherence to the highest quality norms..
What is being shown in the videos as a rubber-like substance, is, in fact, wheat protein, which occurs naturally in many grains like wheat, oats, barley, etc.
The standards prescribed for atta under Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 mandates that atta must contain not less than 6% of wheat protein on a dry weight basis. Accordingly, it is not just AASHIRVAAD Atta, but any atta made from wheat should have a minimum content of wheat protein at prescribed levels. It is this wheat protein which binds the atta making it possible to roll chapatis.
In this context, we would also like to inform you that several clarification videos have been posted by independent persons setting the facts right and explaining how the propaganda against AASHIRVAAD Atta is false. We provide below the links to some such videos. The Company has also released media advertisements and digital campaigns explaining the factual position.”
