Ginger warning
The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries yesterday warned the public to be extra careful when purchasing green ginger.
The warning comes against the background that green ginger treated with the chemical Topsin was stolen from the ministry’s research station at Orange River, St Mary between Friday, April 14 and Sunday, April, 16, 2017.
“A report from the research station indicates that approximately 204 kilos (450 lbs) of ginger, treated with Topsin on Thursday, April 13, have been stolen. The ministry is, therefore, warning the public that if this ginger is consumed within seven days of treatment, it can lead to severe vomiting, diarrhoea and headache.”
