Why FSSAI is failing to curb ethepon from china
FSSAI may have been doing some good work on policy but has largely been a big ZERO in enforcement. This attached image from Sobhita clearly highlights ethepon and I challenge FSSAI CEO. 99% of mango sold in delhi noid gurgaon ncr and may be even India is ripened using ethepon or calcium carbide which is highly carcinogenic. several members have already shared experience. why cant fssai work with customs and commerce ministry and ensure this ethepon import from china is banned. localcircles and its members please take this up as i have zero confidence that fssai will be able to do any thing. more

If these posts ideas , remarks , suggestions are wrong let the authorities inform so . more

For that matter SAFAL fruit and vegetables are safe as they are not chemically ripened. When SAFAL can enforce strict norms for fruit and vegetables sold through its outlets, Government should ensure safety norms elsewhere also. They already have infrastructure in place only strict enforcement is desired. more
