The sacks of white onions recently confiscated in Divisoria in Manila are set to be sold at Kadiwa stalls at a cheaper price, the Department of Agriculture said Sunday.
BPI said the onions had no phytosanitary permit, meaning, they may not be safe for human consumption as these may contain certain chemicals. The onions were supposed to be shredded then made into compost. “Ang tanong namin ay kapag ‘yan ba ay nilabas sa merkado, sa Kadiwa, ligal o maayos ba ‘yan? Bago natin ilalabas ‘yan, tignan muna kung safe ‘yan o hindi kasi hindi natin masasabi,” he said.
Estoperez also answered in the affirmative when asked whether the onions were already inspected and found safe for consumption.
