A social media influencer shared a video on Instagram where they conducted an iodine tincture test on a piece of paneer from Torii, a test commonly used to detect starch adulteration. When the iodine came into contact with the paneer, it turned black and blue. After observing the color change, the influencer declared the paneer to be "adulterated." The influencer also performed the same test at several other celebrity-owned restaurants, including those owned by Virat Kohli, Shilpa Shetty, and Bobby Deol, and expressed satisfaction with their food. However, they voiced concerns about the food served at Gauri Khan's restaurant.

Torii Restaurant Management Responds to Claims

After the video went viral, Torii's management issued a response. They commented on the video, stating, "The iodine test indicates the presence of starch, not the authenticity of the paneer. Since the dish contains soy-based ingredients, this reaction is expected. We stand by the purity of our paneer and the integrity of our ingredients at Torii."
