Fake foreign hilsa risk, liver-kidney failure will lose performance

Fake foreign hilsa risk, liver-kidney failure will lose performance


It's like a hilsa but not a hilsa. Rather, these are heavy metals that are harmful for the human body.
Imported fish like Colombo and Chandana are being imported by the Chittagong port and in the country's market the name of Hilsa. These imported fish labs are exempted from the port without the test, in the name of the Hilsa market! Consumers are being cheated, because these fishes are also deadly due to many diseases.




A sampling test conducted by Kaler Kantha shows that imported Colombo (Taste) fish cadmium tolerant levels of 0.25 milligrams but almost three times more than decimal 69 milligrams, tolerable levels of decimal 3 milligrams, found 1 decimal 63 milligrams Chandana (gijard taste) fish also found in 0.15 milligrams.

According to sources, the Bangladesh Safe Food Authority took initiatives to test some marine fish discharged by Chittagong port in the famous lab of Dhaka. There are high levels of harmful substances in these two fish. After this, on January 1, the authorities instructed all the fish brought by the port of Chittagong to compulsory test.

The member of the safe food authority and the joint secretary of the government Mahbub Kabir gave the letter. He told Kaler Kantho, "All the imported fish are getting heavy metal, especially Cesa or Lead, chromium and mercury, which are very harmful for the public.

Before the acquisition of all the fish imported, the Atomic Energy, BCSIR, Dhaka, Fish Quality Control Lab, has been requested to allow the acquittal if found at the prescribed levels. "Mahbub Kabir said," Initially the formalin has stopped importing formalin since the formation of formalin and as a result formalin import has stopped. Now we will examine 100 percent of each shipment and monitor for a specific time. If it is seen that the presence of heavy metals does not match, then this order will be withdrawn. '
On the afternoon of January 2, the Chittagong customs authorities ordered an office order to issue 100 percent of the invoice. Confirming the matter, Assistant Commissioner Bayezid Hossain told Kaler Kantho that since the last two days, the bill of entry has not been submitted for duty collection of this type of fish. Although there are many vessels in the port.

Responding to a question, Medicine expert said. Dipan Chowdhury said to Kaler Kantho, "The loss of instant food can not be understood immediately, but the performance of the liver and kidneys will be broken in step by step. These substances act as silent killers for long periods of time. "He also said that in addition to imported fish, these issues should be strictly curbed by the fish produced in the country.

It is said that in Chittagong retail market of Kazir Dori with fish trader Abdul Hamid. He said, "The price of these fish is very low compared to the country's hilsa, so some people are importing this fish in hopes of more profit and selling it in the market as Hilsa. We do not cheat on this buyer. '

In 2016 and 2016, only about 100,000 tons of marine fish have been imported by the port of Chittagong. They have been released from the port without testing of heavy metal or heavy metals! But customs assistant commissioner Bayezid Hossain said, "In order to ensure the presence of heavy metal from the middle of last year in the direction of the Department of Fisheries, we have tested the sample by selecting one of the 10 percent of the import shipment but got no harmful substances. "He said that he did not have any directives for importing policy or 100 percent of any government department, so he could not implement it.

The fraud that comes with this test is said to be spoken with multiple C & F agents. They said that most of the samples are not taken from the container of the imported goods. Again, in many cases, the sample was replaced by the container, but it was changed in the middle before it was credited to the customs. Chittagong Customs Labs have many cases of changing reports. For this reason, the Bangladesh Safe Food Authority took initiatives to test some marine fish exhausted exhausted sea ports in Dhaka and found harmful chemicals in it.


As Chittagong port and customs, the imported fish worth Tk 529 crore has been imported in Chittagong for two years. In 2016, 47,000 tons of sea fish have been imported, worth 132 crores. In contrast, the government received Tk 72 billion in taxation. And in 2017 the imports increased slightly to 48 thousand tonnes. The price of this fish was Tk 211 crore and the tariff was 114 crore taka.
