Indian Brands MDH, Everest Banned in Hong Kong & Singapore. Here's Why | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Indian spices are under the scanner after Hong Kong’s food regulatory authority had found four products of popular Indian brands MDH and Everest with carcinogenic ingredients. After this, Singapore has recalled Everest fish curry masala imported from India, citing the presence of ethylene oxide which is a cancer-causing agent. Both MDH and Everest Foods are yet to comment on these claims. There is a ban on using ethylene oxide in food items in India. So how did it end up in the spices? Reports say India's food safety body has called for a sampling of all spice brands in the country. If any brand is found using harmful chemicals, strict action will be taken against them. Palki Sharma tells you more.
