In a statement issued late evening on Thursday, Rane said the Quality Council of India (QCI) has started testing fish at the two border points since June 15, this year and till date, 1,800 samples have been tested and none have it showed the presence of added formalin in them.
Rane said besides, QCI, the Goa Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) officers have tested more than 6,000 samples of fish from border points, wholesale markets as well as retail fish markets in Goa and none of the samples showed added formalin.
“More than 100 samples have also been subjected to laboratory testing using sophisticated instruments and absence of formalin has been established in all the samples,” the minister said.
