Is the chocolate you eat hygienic? How to take care of health while making it Last Updated: 17 December 2025, 19:44 IST Chocolate and Health: Dark chocolate is widely believed to be good for health. But within limits. Chocolate is made from cocoa. The flavonoids and antioxidants found in it have many health benefits, but the question is whether health is taken care of when chocolate is made in factories. Let us know how much care is taken for cleanliness and hygiene while making chocolate. Pros and cons of eating chocolate. Chocolate and health: Chocolate is present in our daily life. There is hardly anyone who has not eaten chocolate. Well, dark chocolate has many benefits. It is made from cocoa. According to health experts, dark chocolate contains many types of antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress by removing free radicals from the body. As a result of this oxidative stress, inflammation occurs in the cells and many types of disease occur. Therefore, chocolate reduces bad cholesterol by preventing damage to cells and boosting brain health. It also improves blood circulation. But the question is whether the chocolate we reach is healthy or hygiene is taken care of while making it. When we asked the same question to Kunwar Himmat Singh, Head of National Corporate Affairs of Nestle, the world’s largest chocolate company, he gave important information about the hygiene of chocolate. How healthy is the raw material of chocolate? Kunwar Himmat Singh told that you all know that Nestle is the world’s largest food and beverage company. In this way, it is our responsibility to make the world’s best chocolate available to the people. We make more than 2000 products including KitKat and high quality hygiene is maintained in all of them. Raw materials are strictly monitored at every stage. Whatever raw material we buy, we buy it only from FSSAI licensed suppliers. There are many types of tests in this. We only buy the goods that are of high quality. The rest are rejected. For example, if we want to buy wheat or cocoa, we buy it only from those whose quality is according to Indian standards. After this, when this raw material comes to the factory, we examine it thoroughly. We test it on 40 parameters from raw material to packaging stage of chocolate. In every way we ensure that the raw material does not cause any health related problems. It is necessary to go through various regulations. To ensure that chocolate has no adverse effects on health, approval must be obtained from various autonomous monitoring bodies. To check whether chocolate is healthy or not, the standards of Local Food Safety and Standard Regulation (FSSAI) are followed. For this, this organization conducts in-depth chemical tests of chocolate. After passing this standard, it is certified by food safety management standards. Nestle received ISO 9001:2015 certificate to stand 100% on this standard. In the laboratory of the same factory, there is always research going on about the effect of the product on health. For this this laboratory has received certificate from NABL. The laboratory always ensures that chocolate or other products do not have even the slightest adverse effect on health. How to understand that chocolate will not cause any health problems. There is a process to making chocolate in a factory. In the factory, there are automatic machines within a radius of about 500 to 700 meters. There are many stages in making chocolate. First, a solution is prepared in cocoa with different ingredients at a favorable temperature. After this it reaches the block of chocolate. A certain amount of solution is poured into these cubes and the chocolate takes shape here. After this it progresses at a fixed temperature and then its times vary. After this, a layer of foil is automatically applied to the chocolate and finally it is packed. This process continues within a radius of 500-700 meters and the machine is completely covered with glass. This means there is no question of anything going inside. All the employees inside the factory are only in uniform. Other than that they have nothing. It is forbidden to wear any kind of belt, metal items, coins etc. to carry into the factory. While working, everyone covers their whole body with a special kind of mask. Such automatic detectors are installed in the machine that as soon as some extra stuff enters the chocolate, it starts making a sound and at that moment the machine is stopped and the entire lot of that product is removed. Then the machine would be cleaned. After all this the process is started again. Seen this way, a lot of attention is paid to the hygiene of chocolate in large companies. For how many days is chocolate safe? Kunwar Himmat Singh told that manufacturing date, time, shift etc. given on each of our products. Along with this, there is also a best before use or expiry date on the package. If any person eats this chocolate for that period, he will not suffer any harm. If the product is in the expiration date, we dump it in the standard way.

New Delhi: The world of dinosaurs has always surprised people. We hear from childhood that some dinosaurs walked on the ground and some flew in the air. But now a new research has shocked the scientists. A team from Tel Aviv University made a shocking revelation. They found that millions of years ago there were dinosaurs that had wings, but they forgot how to fly. Or rather, he lost the power to fly. This study was published in the journal ‘Communications Biology’. This research led by dr. Yusuf Kit gave a new direction to the principles of development. This truth came to light from the examination of 160 million year old fossils found in China. This discovery shows how complex the history of dinosaurs and birds was. Did these dinosaurs fall to the ground while flying? Dr. Yusuf Keet told that the evolution of dinosaurs separated from reptiles about 240 million years ago. Soon after, feathers began to develop in many dinosaurs. These feathers are made of protein. They were used to maintain body temperature and to fly. Feathered dinosaurs called Pennaraptora arose about 175 million years ago. These are considered to be the distant ancestors of today’s birds. Scientists believe they evolved wings to fly. But there must have been a change in the environment. After this, some of these dinosaurs lost their ability to fly. Just like ostriches and penguins cannot fly today. How did the loss of feathers reveal the secret of millions of years? Now the question arises how did the scientists come to know this? The answer lies in the process of ‘molting’, i.e. loss of feathers. Dr Keet is an expert on bird feathers. He said that feathers grow in two to three weeks. When they are fully grown, they separate from the blood vessels. It becomes dead material. Over time, old feathers fall out and new ones grow. This process takes place very smoothly in flying birds. Both of their wings change at the same time so they can fly. This is called symmetry. But in birds that cannot fly, feathers fall in any way or in a random way. This pattern has given scientists the greatest evidence. What is the secret of the white feathers trapped in the stones of China? For this research, the team examined 9 fossils found from the eastern part of China. All these fossils belonged to a dinosaur named Anchiornis. Due to the special weather there, these fossils were found in very good condition. The biggest thing was that the colors of the feathers were also safe. Their wings were white and had black spots on the tips. When scientists examined them through a microscope, they were amazed. He noted that the pattern of feather loss of these dinosaurs was not systematic. There was no coordination between the new growing feathers and the old feathers. The line of black spots is broken. This proved that these dinosaurs were not capable of flying. Were these dinosaurs the ancestors of penguins and ostriches? This discovery shows that Anchiornis dinosaurs could not fly. Even though they had wings. It’s just like there are chickens or penguins today. Dr. Keet says that this is a very rare discovery. Usually only bones are found in fossils. But the color and pattern of feathers was also found here. From this we got to know how these ancient creatures worked. Until now, it was believed that wings were made only for flying. But this study proved that the wheel of development can also turn in reverse. Some species first learned to fly and later abandoned it. It is a very complex game of nature. 160 million year old Anchiornis fossil. (Credit: Communications Biology (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s42003-025-09019-2) Not only by bones, now how will identification be done by colors? This study is a game changer for scientists. Until now, we have estimated the strength and size of dinosaurs from their bones. But in the case of Anchiornis, the color of the feathers told the whole story. Dr. Keet said that the loss of feathers may seem like a small technical detail. But seeing it in fossils is a big deal. This changed our thinking about the origin of flight. Now Anchiornis is also included in the list of those dinosaurs that were winged but lived on land. This shows how diverse the evolution of feathers was. Why did such a turn in the evolution of dinosaurs occur? The research team says that this discovery is very important. This shows that the evolution of dinosaurs and birds was not simple. It was a very complex process. It is possible that circumstances have changed at that time. Perhaps food became more readily available on the ground. Or the threat of large predators may have diminished. Whatever the reason, these dinosaurs left the sky and chose the land. This is a good example of the ‘use it or lose it’ principle. Whatever is no longer useful in nature, living beings gradually leave it. Will more such secrets be revealed in the future? Scientists from America and China were also involved in this research. Now scientists will also look with a new eye at other fossils held in museums around the world. It is possible that what we think of as a flying dinosaur was actually living on the ground.
