The image of half of the saffron in the market is counterfeit / the authenticity of saffron is not recognizable
Gholamreza Mirie, in an interview with the journal Jam Online, said a few percent of the saffron on the market is non-standard and non-sanitary. The units that are known and licensed and standardized are daily from the line Their production is sampled and samples are taken from saffron distributed by them on the market, and if there is an infringement, the license of that unit will be revoked, but in contrast to double the unauthorized units that somebody They do not work with them. They are under the step.
“We declare to the Food and Drug Delegation and the Standards Institute of the units that offer saffron without identification and address to the public,” he said, but this In response, devices say they are not covered by us and they do not have permission, so we can not monitor them, but if anyone complains, they can be said that these units are somehow abandoned.
The vice chairman of the Saffron National Council on Violations of Profit Persons said: Usually, some profiteers smear saffron stalks with chemicals and chemicals and market them with a very low quality, while others also import materials from India and Pakistan It’s similar to the saffron sting and it’s unclear what the main ingredient is to mix it with saffron, and the appearance of the material is such that even experts can not recognize it as fake unless it is given to the lab.
He added that units licensed to not test saffron do not buy it, but unlicensed units easily use these materials.
In the country, there are about 53 standard marks in saffron, most of them in Mashhad. In general, saffron that has a standard mark is of high quality, even if it’s not branded as a brand, and maybe some of them even have a higher quality than brands.
