Eating fruits injected with growth regulators

Q: If haraam growth regulators are injected into fruits after harvesting them (to make them bigger), will they come under the heading of Tabdeel-e-Maahiyyah, and will such fruits be halaal to consume?

A: After growth, if there is no sign of the haraam ingredient which was injected and it is not harmful to the health, then it will be regarded as halaal and permissible to consume.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
