Hello
Taking the case suo motu, the High Court said the authorities concerned must ensure the food division of Sabarimala complies with the norms of the Food Safety Department.
Devaswom officials said that the new batch of aravana won't taste different, as only a small quantity of cardamom is generally added in its preparation.
K Ananthagopan also said cardamom will be used in Aravana if 'organic' product was procured.
Recently, a food safety authority report confirmed that the cardamom used for making aravana in Sabarimala has around 14 types of pesticides in them.
The laboratory report is expected to be tabled before the High Court of Kerala on Thursday.
In his first post, Varier had said that it would be good if Hindus, Christians and Muslims realised that they could not live in Kerala if they impose economic sanctions on each other.
BJP spokesperson Sandeep G Varier put up his rebel post right after the BJP state leadership had told him not to air his personal opinions on social media.
The Board told the high court that the jaggery received from the contracting company is first tested at Pamba by the Food Safety department and after their clearance it is stored in the godown there.
The TDB's statement comes in the wake of the "fake propaganda" about the 'Aravana Payasam,' the important 'prasadam' offered at Sabarimala temple.
The home-delivered packets of prasadam will contain aravana, aatiya shistham nei, vibhuti prasadam, manjal and kumkumam.
