Kochi, Aug. 20:
The Commissioner
of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI),
Thiruvananthapuram, has ordered destruction of 93 lots i.e., an
estimated 850 tonnes of black pepper, which were found to be adulterated
with mineral oil, immediately following statutory proceedings in
consultation with the Spices Board.
Of the 104 lots
which were analysed at the Spices Board mineral oil was not in 11 lots,
said an FSSAI order No. A-3751/12/CFS dated 7-8.2013. These 11 lots, the
order said, “shall be clearly identified and separated from the present
location and handed over to the custodians for shifting to other
warehouses”.
