Adulterant

Adulterant is a big word that means people add things to food or drinks that shouldn't be there. It's like when someone gives you a cookie, but instead of being made of good ingredients like flour and sugar, they put some bad things like dirt or rocks.

Adulterants can also be added to things like milk, honey, or even medicine. They can make you sick, give you allergies, or even cause you to die. That's why people need to be careful with what they eat or drink and make sure they are buying things from trusted sources.

Sometimes people add adulterants to make more money by selling less of a product or making it cheaper. But it's not fair because people could get really sick from these bad ingredients. So, it's always a good idea to make sure you are eating and drinking safe and clean things.
