In Bangladesh, malnutrition remains all around, especially in the case of protein source food. In this regard, the high protein-containing dry fish can be a great source to meet the demand because the dry fishes are the predominant food bringing vital protein to people in rural areas of least developed countries.
Fishers use a mixture of dirty salt (image given), organochlorine insecticides to protect dry fish from infestation (Bhuiyan et al., 2008). Some analyses in Bangladesh showed alarming pollutants in fish like DDT and heptachlor (Bhuiyan et al., 2009; Chowdhury et al., 2010). In Kuakata (a fish processing zone in Bangladesh), a high level of DDT powder (locally known as white powder) is used, although Bangladesh banned the 'dirty dozen' in 1997 (Bhuiyan et al., 2009; Chowdhury et al., 2010). DDT is classified as "moderately toxic" by the US National Toxicological Program and "moderately hazardous" by WHO and a B2 probable human carcinogen (Bhuiyan et al., 2009; World Health Organization, 2010).
Trying to supply good quality dry fish which is free from chemicals and salts. Hoping to come back very soon with more tasty, healthy, and safe dry fish, InshaAllah. May Allah accept my wish, Ameen.
