Sales of Red Potatoes, imported from India, have dropped in Nepal as a result of a recent scare that began in Biratnagar. The spuds are supposed to contain high quantities of chemical fertilisers and pesticides like DDT. The reports are conflicting-some say they're contaminated, others say they're not. Just to be sure, consumer groups and Biratnagar municipality officials sent potato samples to be tested at the local Food Laboratory. They tested negative. But consumers are still on red alert.
