A large number of fish imported from China and Vietnam and sold in U.S. supermarkets contain alarming levels of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen.

Townfolk who often go to supermarkets to buy food may notice that many fresh vegetables are tied together by colourful tapes.

On September 12, 2018, the National Health Commission issued a notice on two new food ingredients, namely, the Black Chokeberry and Nostoc Sphaeroides

FSSAI has fixed the limits of formaldehyde in fish and fisheries products and issued a directive in this regard.
