US customs rejected 31% MDH spice powder products over 6 months
MDH Spices has denied allegations that its products have traces of cancer-causing agent ethylene oxide (ETO), calling them 'untrue' and 'lacking any substantiating evidence.' 'Amid speculations doing rounds that there is presence of ETO in our products, we clarify and state unequivocally that these claims are untrue and lack any substantiating evidence,' a statement released by the company said.
The statement from the spice maker came days after Hong Kong and Singapore banned the sale of the two Indian spice brands in their countries - MDH and Everest, claiming that they detected the presence of carcinogenic pesticide ethylene oxide in several spice mixes.
The CFS issued a warning against the sale and purchase of MDH's Madras Curry Powder and Sambhar Masala, as well as Everest's Fish Curry Masala
MDH clarified in their statement that they havent been contacted by food safety regulators in Hong Kong or Singapore
