On the ongoing prasad controversy regarding the usage of inorganic cardamom in the preparation of Prasad, Dewasom board President K Ananthagopan said on Wednesday that it is difficult to get organic raw materials. Food products are only used after they are tested through government labs.
Kerala High Court ordered the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) to immediately stop the distribution of 'Aravana Payasam' which is made with pesticide-laced cardamom, in Sabarimala temple.
