The matter has been reported from the Allahabad district where the Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) confirmed the adulteration.
According to reports, the FSDA had collected samples of edible oil from a KFC outlet, the franchise of which is owned by Yum Restaurant Private Limited. After tests, it was found that "miracle powder" was being used to keep the oil fresh. The palmolein oil was also found rancidity positive.

"Once the oil becomes rancidity positive, it becomes acidic when it comes into contact with oxygen. This directly affects the digestive system", additional commissioner of the FSDA Ram Araj Maurya said. The department has served two notices to the KFC outlet, he added
Meanwhile, troubles continued for  Maggi in Uttar Pradesh as some more samples failed the quality tests of the FSDA. "About 500 samples were collected from various districts of the state and three additional samples were collected from the Barabanki district.

All of them have failed quality tests. The lead content in these samples were found above the permissible limit of 2.7 parts per million and we are further sending it to the central FSDA", Maurya added.
In July last month the FDA had cancelled the license of the Gajraula outlet of Dominos in the Amroha district after its tomato sauce snack packing was found unsafe for consumption after tests in the Kolkota laboratory.

There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command.

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day.
