Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala has banned 74 brands of coconut oil after tests revealed adulteration in them. State Food Safety Commissioner Anand Singh has issued an order in this regard which makes manufacture, storage, distribution and sales of these brands illegal.
Earlier, the Food Safety authorities had banned 45 brands of coconut oil on May 31 this year and another 51 brands on June 30.
Stocking and marketing of the banned coconut oil would invite punishment, says the order.
The ban order follows the ‘Thinnal theernnu’ (Eat and you are finished) series telecast by ‘Manorama News’ which showed with evidence the widespread adulteration of the coconut oil sold in Kerala.
