I am not sure that the Containment teams actually need names, it certainly isn't usually done, and is a bit distracting.
I like the idea of the Foundation having to resurrect dead religions for containment purposes, and it is pretty neat to see a Manichean article rather than another Judeo-Christian one.
I was iffy about this one until the explanation of the Elements of Light in the interview log. Then everything fit together a lot better and it stopped being a random assortment of anomalous effects.
One point is that the -1, -2, -3 designation is somewhat confusing on a first read. I don't know if there's a better way of organizing, but it might be worth considering. +1

I'm actually pretty happy to hear this reaction, since this was more or less what I was trying to elicit.
The story and connection of everything is interesting. That said, my first thought is that this is Keter Cakes with less earth-destroying ramifications. My second thought is, why bother eating them? Why not just leave them be and cordon off the area?
Furthermore, the presence of uneaten SCP-2903-2 fruits causes meteorological anomalies within a circular region centered around them […]. The radius of this region grows quadratically relative to the number of uneaten SCP-2903-2 fruits in close proximity.
Since more fruits grow every day, these meteorological anomalies will eventually affect the entire world if they are not consumed.
The weird weather would just get worse, wouldn't it?
Could this SCP potentially cause harm? I'm working on an 'Anomaly Injury Potential' Article.
Yes. See the part about spontaeneous combustion.
The weird weather could potentially also cause injuries indirectly. Say, the enclave of Manicheanists comes down with the flu and they have a week or two where they aren't able to keep up with the harvest schedule. Harvesting and pruning back the vines in a torrential storm could lead to a number of mundane injuries.
The 2e effect stands out to me
A vacuum temporarily forms around the consumer, resulting in near-immediate death.
The wording is fairly vague compared to the previous descriptions. How "temporary" is this vacuum? Is it just around the subject's head or does it surround their body? What shape is it? Does the vacuum's formation remove the air in the subject's lungs? (this last one is important)
Brief exposure to hard vacuum is not lethal. The primary hazard of sudden decompression is air in the subject's lungs causing ruptures as it expands, which can be avoided by exhaling. After that, it's estimated that a human can survive over a minute in hard vacuum. If the vacuum persists that long, cause of death would be asphyxiation.
are the element of wind
Needless to say this did not go unnoticed :3
