Quick Glance: FSSAI Testing Spice Samples After Hong Kong, Singapore Product Recalls
- Following the discovery of ethylene oxide in products from Everest and MDH in Hong Kong and Singapore, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has initiated the collection of samples of powdered spices from all brands across the country to assess their quality.
- An unidentified official mentioned that India's food safety regulator has commenced sampling spices from all brands, including MDH and Everest, to ensure compliance with quality standards.
- The official also highlighted that India's Food Safety and Standards Authority, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, does not monitor the quality of spices exported from the country.
- According to Maharashtra Food Assistant Commissioner Ulhas Ingwale, the authority received reports of pesticide residue in specific flavors of MDH and Everest, prompting considerations for sampling and pesticide testing.
