evidence: Fact: It is true that traditional methods of silver foil manufacturing involve animal products. However, after the intervention of food regulatory authorities, courts, and animal rights activists, most of these manufacturers have shifted to modern manufacturing, avoiding animal products. While sporadic events of manufacturers using traditional methods/adulterating have been reported, according to officials, these practices have reduced to a large extent. The viral video could be an old video or related to manufacturer still practicing traditional method. Hence the claim made in the post is PARTLY TRUE. [...] However, in line with the claim made in the viral video, traditional making of silver foils involves animal products. Like mentioned in the video, foils are made by placing the metal in between two layers (made of animal intestine) and pounding till a very thin layer of foil is produced. [...] The ban on making silver foils using animal products was stalled for a brief period, when the Delhi High Court in July 2017 stayed the enforcement of the FSSAI order, after some manufacturers went to court citing loss of livelihood for several workers in the business. But later in February 2018, the court lifted the stay and allowed the ban on using animal products in making. And FSSAI has communicated the court’s decision to all the states and UTs and requested them to implement the earlier orders with respect to manufacturing of silver foils.
