After a test on 40 prepackaged chilled fruit juices, the city's consumer watchdog found preservatives present in some of the samples that claimed to contain no preservatives while a contaminant patulin in excess of the food safety action level was detected in two cold pressed fruit juices.
The cold pressed samples, one apple juice and blended apple juice, were both found to contain patulin at values exceeding the Centre for Food Safetys action level of not more than 50 micro grams per kilogram,
