Just two days ago, Indian media was ablaze with the news that Hong Kong and Singapore had imposed bans on certain spices from Indian brands MDH and Everest. The reason? These spices were found to contain 'Ethylene Oxide' —a compound that has been linked to the development of cancer.
As this news spread rapidly, it's important to note that European countries have been banning not just spices but various other products like nuts, seeds, betel leaves, raw shrimp, and rice since last year. These products often contain high levels of pesticides or other harmful chemical contaminants.
With the US being one of the largest markets for Indian products outside India, it's no surprise that the FDA quickly announced it would begin scrutinizing Indian spices for contamination and other cancer-causing chemicals that exceed safe levels.
According to a source familiar with these developments who spoke to Asia91.com, the US FDA is preparing a comprehensive list of Indian products for testing under stringent guidelines in the coming days.
While not confirmed, the source hinted in response to a question that the FDA is particularly concerned about Indian products already flagged by several European countries and Canada in recent years.
Here are the highlights of 160 items that are potential red flags for retesting in the USA and determining whether to ban:
- All 160 items are sourced from India.
- These items have already undergone testing and failed, emphasizing that they failed testing conducted by European countries.
- Assuming these products went to Europe and failed with a significant margin, it's expected they would fail tests in the USA as well since similar products are usually exported to both Europe and the US.
