MARGAO: A team of food safety officers from theFood and drugs administration (FDA) seized artificially-ripened mangoes worth 5,000 from a fruit vendor at Curchorem on Sunday.
The team; comprising Abel Rodrigues, Priya Desai and Niranjan Naik; confiscated the fruit fromSultan Kachur, a vendor who was operating from his godown near Curchorem railway station, FDA officials said.
Mangoes had been artificially ripened using a chemical called 'Ethopon', which is used as a plant growth regulator by agriculturists. It is illegal to ripen fruit using chemicals, even those approved for use in farming.
FDA has destroyed the stock and prevented it from going into the market.
All such mangoes are sent to the Cacora garbage site. FDA director Salim Veljee said that it was not possible to test fruit for chemicals as the powder tends to wear off quickly. "Unless, we catch the culprits red-handed with the chemicals, we cannot make seizures," he said.
