Junk food almost vanished from our plates, sugar & salt intake shrunk to minimum, and even we became so particular about our snacks and confectionaries our kids have. We read the content of ingredients, look at the packaging quality whether its eco-friendly or not, quality certifications and others; indeed these have become our regular task when buying confectionaries.
