Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, offered to give PM Narendra Modi some cooked meals herself. She wondered if he would let her eat something he had cooked. In the past, monarchs and emperors hired people to check their meals for poison; international leaders subsequently copied this practice. It's unclear at this point if this practice has stopped or is still going on covertly.
Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal and leader of the TMC, offered to prepare meals for Prime Minister Narendra Modi herself. She said on Monday that she is ready to make something for him (Modi), but she wasn't sure if he would eat what she had made. The chief minister brought up this matter and attacked the BJP for allegedly interfering with people's eating habits. She also underlined how crucial trust is in this situation.
Tasters were once employed by royal households. These families made up the entire workforce that was in charge of testing the food that was meant for the royal family to make sure it was safe from any poison. Later, this kind of thing happened with well-known politicians as well. A plethora of media reports claim that politicians or leaders who are under threats from other nations covertly hire food testers in nearly every country.
There are also cup-bearers in other countries, whose job it is to taste wine or other drinks and identify toxicity. To confirm authenticity, they sample the cocktails with a spoon taken out of the glass. To keep the king or leader calm, this practice is usually carried out in their presence.

What Types of Poisons Are In Food?
Food has been contaminated with a number of poisons, including atropine, cyanide, and arsenic trioxide. Despite having different mechanisms of action, these toxins frequently cause vomiting soon after consumption. Certain poisons have delayed effects, meaning they become apparent 24 hours or more after they enter the body. For example, symptoms of arsenic poisoning can appear anywhere from two hours to four days after exposure, and in otherwise healthy people, the most common sign is minor stomach ache. Kings or other leaders might inadvertently eat tainted food in such circumstances.
