Mdh And Everest

Nearly 12% of tested spice samples failed to meet quality and safety standards, according to data obtained by Reuters of tests by Indian authorities after several countries took steps over contamination risks in two popular brands.

Rajasthan has started recalling some batches of popular MDH and Everest spices, which were found to be unsafe for consumption, a top official said, the latest in growing domestic and global scrutiny of the brands.

Rajasthan also urged the state authorities of Gujarat and Haryana, where the MDH and Everest batches were made, to "take action in the matter without delay".

Food adulteration has become a hot topic ever since MDH and Everest came under the investigation radar for their products.

The laboratory reports received so far were conducted by the scientific panel at FSSAI. Read on.

Spices of Indian firms MDH and Everest --at the centre of a huge row over alleged contamination -- have received clearance from food regulator FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India).

Nepal's Department of Food Technology and Quality Control has banned the import, consumption and sale of two Indian spice brands Everest and MDH as it starts test for levels of ethylene oxide, an official confirmed to ANI.

India has taken several steps to prevent EtO (ethylene oxide), a carcinogenic chemical, contamination in spices exported from India, a senior government official said on Wednesday.

For decades, India's spice makers MDH and Everest have been ubiquitous in kitchens around the world with their products being essential ingredients in chicken and fish curries and vegetable dishes.

India's food safety regulator said on Thursday it had ordered testing and inspections at all companies making spice mixes, widening an investigation into the sector as global regulators look into suspected contamination in two popular local brands.

MDH, a leading spice brand, on Saturday assured consumers that its products are 100 per cent safe and rejected the allegations of the presence of certain pesticides in some products by Hong Kong and Singapore food regulators.

As the row surrounding some products of Indian brands MDH and Everest being banned in Hong Kong and Singapore over the alleged presence of harmful compounds continues to simmer, the Spices Board has said it is gathering information from both places.

Singapore, last week, took action against Everest Food Products Pvt., banning the sale of its products citing alleged detection of ethylene oxide at levels surpassing permissible limits.

India, the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices, has sought details from food safety regulators of Singapore and Hong Kong, which has banned certain spices of Indian brands MDH and Everest.

The food authority mentioned that they will only look into the quality of the spices sold in the Indian domestic market. Read on for details.
