According to a 2014 study cited by ResearchGate, nearly half of all food samples tested in Bangladesh from 2001 to 2009 were found to be adulterated. This widespread food adulteration problem in Bangladesh poses a significant public health risk, affecting millions and causing various diseases.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 600 million people—almost 1 in 10 globally—fall ill each year from eating contaminated food. The wide range of problems with food quality extends beyond simple contamination, encompassing the entire supply chain and affecting public health and nutrition on a global scale.
