CleanAva ensures no-formalin

Deceitful traders use formalin in vegetables, fruits, fish and other food items in a bid to preserve the items for a longer time for gaining more profit. Formalin, which is used in textile, plastic, paper, colour, construction and preserving dead bodies, could be extremely dangerous for the human body. Dishonest people  use formalin, despite knowing the adverse effects of the chemical. Hence, we worry about buying fruits-vegetables from markets.

Purnava Limited (a subsidiary of Renata Limited) has brought CleanAva, a formalin cleaner, to ensure you eat fruits and vegetables not contaminated with formalin. CleanAva is the easiest way to remove hazardous elements, such as pesticide and formalin from vegetables and fruits, making them fresh and fully nutritious without any health risk. Made from natural ingredients, CleanAva is extremely effective in removing formalin from fruits and vegetables. Keep the vegetables, fruits or fish in CleanAva for 10-15 minutes. This will remove harmful elements such as pesticide and formalin for sure.

Lab tests confirm using CleanAva for 30 minutes before eating will remove 99 percent of the pesticides, formalin and other risky elements, confirms Rezaul Karim, a senior scientist of Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). He said that CleanAva is made with necessary tests at BCSIR lab. Using it on food items, and then washing those well with ordinary water will remove any formalin. But, time is very important. After using CleanAva, you have to wait for minimum 10-15 minutes, otherwise it will not be effective. 

Carbide and formalin are thoroughly used in imported fruits such as apple, grape etc. Formalin delays the decomposition of fruits, so most of the vendors use it.

He added that formalin is also used in local markets for seasonal fruits such as amla and olive. We often end up eating these fruits without washing it after buying them from roadside vendors. In restaurants, customers are served with salad made of green vegetables such as lettuce and carrot, without being properly washed and cleaned. Restaurant authorities should also be aware about removing formalin from food items, or else human health would be affected.

There are  formalin and carbide cleaners available in the market now, but most are not capable of totally removing the hazardous items. However, CleanAva is a lot more effective in such cases, said Rezaul Karim.
