“There is a high probability that these brands will come under the radar of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and necessary measures will be taken to safeguard human health. This could potentially have a significant impact on the sales of these products. Therefore, the All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF) urges you to exercise caution regarding heavy stocking of these products,” AICPDF—that represents distributors of fast-moving consumer goods pan-India—said in a statement on Saturday.
The advisory comes after samples of spices from India were found to have more than the permissible level of ethylene oxide in some overseas markets. This has prompted India’s top food regulator to inspect branded spices to detect the presence of ethylene oxide in them. FSSAI has deployed state food commissioners and issued orders for samples of major spice brands to be collected from their manufacturing units from across India, Mint reported earlier.
