- The Food Safety Department is creating awareness among the public about the consequences of consuming liquid nitrogen in any form.
- The advisory comes in the wake of a viral video on social media in which a boy is seen consuming liquid nitrogen.
- Both dry ice and liquid nitrogen can cause harm.
- The dry ice’s temperature ranges around -78.5 degrees Celsius.
- But the liquid nitrogen can reach -196 degrees Celsius.
- Both substances produce thick white vapours at room temperature and are often used as a freezing agent in food preparation and preservation.
