Adulteration of crude drugs refers to the process by which the purity and quality of a natural substance, such as herbs or plant extracts, are compromised by the addition of foreign substances or contaminants. This can occur intentionally, through the mixing of inferior or cheaper materials, or unintentionally, due to environmental factors or improper handling. Adulterated crude drugs can lead to ineffective treatment, toxicity, and pose serious health risks to consumers. Therefore, ensuring the authenticity and quality of crude drugs is essential in herbal medicine and pharmacognosy.

Which thing is forbidden without adulteration
Food adulteration can be categorized into several types, including intentional adulteration, where substances are added to food to increase bulk or weight, such as adding water to milk. Another type is substitution, where a cheaper ingredient is used as a replacement for a more expensive one, like using margarine instead of butter. Additionally, food can be adulterated through contamination with harmful substances, such as pesticides or heavy metals. Lastly, misbranding is another form of food adulteration, where products are labeled deceptively to mislead consumers about their quality or origin.

because of a lack of agencies preforming proper inspections on food production sites. In the United States, we have the USDA (united states department of agriculture) and the FDA (food drug administration) that try to prevent cases. Alas, adulteration still happens because people can be careless. :(
