TESTING ORGANICITY OF VEGETABLES AND FRUITS :
FSSAI wanted to bring it under its wings , mandating to label all Organic produce . This has been put on hold after the protests by farmers. The duty of FSSAI seems to be just issuing certification for products . That doesn't guarantee quality assurance of the product as the certification system itself is defective , according to Organic farm experts.
Quality tests can be done in the Laboratory for metal content , pesticide residue and other . But when it is brought under one wing how are samples to be chosen as the produce will be from 100's of Farms . Failure from one Farm produce will be attributed all produce or quality of one Farm will be mistaken for another . So the experts feel that if
Traceability of the source or Organic Farm is possible , consumer can check and be satisfied. In the case of Big Brands and Labels it will not be possible as it would have procured from several Farms.
Even before going to the lab for testing the folowing simple tests will indicate Organicity :
- Organic produce won't come apart while cooking. When Organic brinjal is cooked in curry it will break into smaller pieces.
- Hybrids don't have seasonality . Will be available through out the year Organic fruits and vegetables are available at particular seasons only . Examplae Mangoes from April to August ,Jack fruit April May onwads . starting from Benglura to Neelam variety , the last . Oranges around September ; Drum stick in summer months . Flowes May Flower[ may get delaeyed when summer showers come late .] , and the beautiful Indian Laburnam in May . This seasonality will not be there for the Hybrid ones.

Jaya Kumar Daniel Sir, your suggestion is Just wonderful but FSSAI is ready to take it up - I am sure it is beyond their Capability attitude as well as reliability - On the other Hand Government should allow Private entrepreneurs to do it with penal clause for wrong Certification - Such heavy penalty - Milk even from Government Dairies is adulterated with high dose of Antibiotics- Practicality of the suggestion to be thought off more

It appears in our country we are heading for a big Organic Scam not sponsored or done by the Government but in a way definitely promoted by Government. I am sure many products labelled Organic actually does not truly fits the organic Norm's except monetary benefits to sellers or producers. It needs strict vigil by a Central Government agencies or innocent public should not be cheated by this Fraud. more
