Buying and selling safflower flowers instead of saffron in Ilam

An agricultural expert in Ilam province announced the purchase and sale of safflower flowers instead of saffron flowers in the food market of this province.

Ali Farzinejad added: The production of a food product called saffron from safflower flowers is done due to the similarity of appearance and taste of both products, and the producers of this type of food take advantage of this feature.

He hypothesized that the production of this type of counterfeit material in underground factories or even abroad is possible and said: opportunistic traders and traders by abusing the conditions of impure trade through standard packaging, are among the activists.

The agricultural expert also said that counterfeit packaging of this type of food (saffron derived from safflower flowers) is possible abroad and said: this kind of dirty business should be dealt with.

In this regard, the Director General of the Office of Standards and Industrial Research also said: the production and packaging of saffron is subject to mandatory standards.

Massoud Javadi emphasized: if you see that the standard mark is not engraved on the saffron packages, Ilam Standard Office will deal with the violators according to the current laws.

At the same time, he said: Testing to prove real saffron is being carried out by some centers in other provinces, and if there is a discrepancy with the properties and composition of saffron, the result will be announced and the violator will be dealt with according to mandatory standards.
