High Court stops production, sale of 'Aravana Prasadam' at Sabarimala

 

On Wednesday, the High Court of Kerala directed the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) to not sell 'Aravana Prasadam' in Sabarimala as the cardamom used in the preparation contained pesticides beyond the minimum permissible limit (MRL).

The direction by a Bench of Justice Anil K Narendran and Justice P G Ajithkumar came following the detection of around 14 pesticides in the chemical analysis of the cardamom procured by the Board from a Kollam-based supplier.

The Government Analyst’s Laboratory in Thiruvananthapuram and accredited laboratory of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), after testing the cardamom, found it to be unsafe.
