Saffron powder that is not saffron!
Director General of the Food and Drug Control Laboratories referred to the sale of low-cost saffron powder, which is sometimes sold by vendors in the subway, saying, “This is also a kind of fraud, because there is a lot of fraud in saffron. For example, the corn stale is painted, then powdered and sold as saffron powder. People should know that these materials are not saffron at all. Saffron should be brand-fully, and there’s the logo of the Food and Drug Administration and health license number, so if we have a complaint from the product, we can follow it.
Rastegar added: The smell of saffron contained in these powders is from the body added to it. This is also one of the fraud that occurs, the essence of the material that adds it to various materials, such as tea. It should be said that sometimes these essential oils are not edible and therefore one of the fraud is the use of essential oils and this discussion should be considered. Saffron purchased should be packaged and brand approved.
