The report, “‘ Panchamirtham’ may pack a GI punch soon” (June 16), is nectar-like news. Prasadam is a gracious gift, usually an edible food offered first to a deity or a saint. It is believed that giving prasadam to others brings merit to the giver. Efforts must be taken by the authorities concerned to ensure that adulterated/spurious prasadam is not sold as there will be many waiting to cash in on the business of selling this ‘banana, honey, milk and milk-based, and cardamom’ mixture.
