Toilet cleaning fluid as kos preservative
Bizarre but true. Adulteration of food items has reached new levels, posing hazardous threats to consumers.
One chance discovery was made by doctors at the Ratnapura Hospital when a man with burn wounds on his hands turned up. He was questioned but refused to answer.
Doctors threatened that they would report him to the Hospital post. He confessed. He was a vendor who sold pieces of Jak or kos for curry. When he found he had large stocks, he had preserved them using a toilet cleaning fluid. The next morning, he would wash the pieces and sell them claiming they were from a fresh fruit.
Doctors dressed his wound and gave him medication. When that was over, they handed the man to the hospital post.
In another instance, at the Dehiwala Junction, a family that purchased fish (young paraw) and cooked it one afternoon found to their dismay that the smell was foul and acidic. It did not take much for a person to realise that formaldehyde solution, used to preserve dead bodies, had been used to preserve the fish.
