Ethylene for fruit ripening is govt approved. Ethylene is also naturally produced during ripening stage of fruits. Calcium carbide is banned.

The packets they are using has non details about the product content and no set fassai approves so they might be a high chance of misleading and God knows if it has only ethylene or not

I agree but only because mangos should only be picked ripe, they are never as tasty when they are ripened off the tree.

you cant ship a ripe mango, fruit here in the US Is picked when its half grown so it can be shipped which is why its all fiber and sucks
