Pune Market Yard : Discarded Mosambi Washed, Polished, and Sold, Health At Risk |Watch Video
Pune, February 7, 2025: A shocking case of fruit adulteration has come to light in the Gultekdi Market Yard area of Pune. Mosambi (sweet lime) collected from waste and other discarded sources is being washed in packaged water and then sold in the market. Surprisingly, after this process, the mosambi develops a striking golden shine, making it look fresh and appealing.
The disturbing aspect of this incident is that the task is being carried out by young boys, barely 11 or 12 years old. While their plight may invoke sympathy, the real concern is the serious health risk posed by such unhygienic practices. Experts warn that chemical treatments or exposure to contaminated water can make these fruits hazardous for consumption.
Consumer Alert: Be Cautious While Buying Fruits!
Health experts urge consumers to be vigilant while purchasing fruits from markets. The external appearance of fruits should not be the only factor in selection. It is essential to check the source and hygiene before buying.
Authorities have been alerted about this malpractice, and consumers are advised to report any suspicious activities in local markets. Ensuring food safety should be a priority for both vendors and buyers.
