Answer 1

Mixing of jaggery (gur) in honey is an example of Food Adulteration.

Explanation:

Food adulteration refers to the mixing of low-quality food with high-quality food in an attempt to increase profits. Blending jaggery (gur), a low-quality product, with honey (a high-quality product), will increase profits because 'gur' will be sold for the same price as honey. This is an example of traditional food adulteration.
