Strict Action Ahead

Authorities described desiccated coconut as dried and finely shredded, containing no moisture and offering a long shelf life. In contrast, non-desiccated coconut retains some moisture, undergoes minimal processing, and spoils more quickly. Authorities stressed that they would take strict action against those who compromise food quality and deceive consumers. Investigators are working to uncover the full scope of the operation and its distribution network, according to reports.
