India's spice brands MDH and Everest face global scrutiny over contamination concerns. Hong Kong ban triggers investigations in the US, Maldives, India, and Australia. MDH shipments to the US have faced high rejection rates due to bacteria and salmonella contamination. Singapore and Hong Kong have recalled products over cancer-causing pesticide ethylene oxide. India makes testing for ethylene oxide residues mandatory for spice shipments to Singapore and Hong Kong. Quality concerns could threaten half of India's $2.17 billion spice exports. Nepal also bans imported spices due to ethylene oxide contamination. Retailers in India limit stocks of MDH and Everest branded spices. The Indian government takes action to ensure compliance with international standards and protect consumer health. #FoodSafety #Contamination #Spices #Exports...
