Mysore/Mysuru: Dr. KSMS Raghavarao, Director, CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysuru, has clarified as follows with regard to a statement in the recent television coverage on the Spirulina Chikkies developed by the Institute:
“We have come to know that reports televised on May 9, 2020 by the some Kannada TV Channels have claimed that Spirulina Chikkies developed by CFTRI as a cure for COVID-19 which is far from the truth. CFTRI has never claimed that the Spirulina Chikkies or any of the other products recently supplied as relief are cures for any disease or illness. The Spirulina Chikkies are supplements for nutrients that help in building immunity.”
