Sachets of chinese ethylene are becoming more and more common at fruit wallahs. Some of these fruit traders are saying that these sachets are permitted by FSSAI. Can FSSAI please confirm? more
Fruits ripened with Pure Ethylene is safe to consume as per FSSA 2006 with restriction on its quantity but the question arises about the Chinese sachet whether it contains Ethylene or Acetylene as Acetylene is harmful which is evolved from Carbide. FSSAI must come up with guidelines on the subject keeping in view the public health. more
FSSAI has no capability of taking action I believe. They can just make policy. Actions are in hands of state controllers. Food Safety should be taken away from states. more
