FSSAI rule clarification on artificial ripening
If my understanding is correct, Ethylene in powder form is still forbidden under the Food Safety and Standards Regulations. Only the use of ethylene gas is permitted for artificially ripening is approved and thats done through ripening chambers
FSSAI has banned the direct use of ethylene powder and calcium carbide to ripen fruits and vegetables (attached sachet from china is banned)
Can FSSAI please confirm this or advise if understanding is wrong. By being quiet you make us all wonder if you arent sure about your own rules FSSAI. more
