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

I think Indian FSSAI in India are too unqualified to be the inspectors of food. I see even the worst, locally made products with no maker's names mentioned on it has the FSSAI approval marks. FSSAI's works needs to be reviewed. I don't know what chemical and unhygienic food we are eating. FSSAI shouldn't give approved to any products without watching the completed process of how the products are being made.

@@alternateaccount4868 There are already many cooking videos. Here are some pointers: 1. Corriander / Jeera powder: This is very simple to make. Buy ~200gm whole corriander / jeera seeds from a kirana store. Heat a kadhai and put the seeds in. Lower the heat and stir with a roti flipper / Jharni until hot (~ 5 minutes). Empty into a plate and leave to cool. Put it in a mixie and grind into a powder. 2. Chilli powder: Procedure is same as above. Except after cooling you need to remove the stalks before grinding. Choose your chilli variety based on your preference from a good Kirana store. Buy the good quality loose one not packed. These are the popular varieties. Kashmiri (large smooth skin, sweet, mild heat, good color), Byadagi (pronounced Bedgi, medium size, wrinkled skin, medium heat, good color), Guntur (small smooth skin hot). I usually use 150gm Byadagi + 50gm Guntur. 3. Garam Masala: You can see this recipe by Ranveer Brar kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGmTp5KMm9G7Z7Q.htmlsi=3HQsKgYCk5DkjLBh 4. Sambar Powder: I have used the recipe from this video and it gives an authentic taste kzread.info/dash/bejne/mIKkt5WbZq27qqw.html This is not a recipe video but I had noted the recipe in a comment on this video. I think it should be the 3rd or 4th comment in the comment section. While making sambar powder you need to be careful not to over fry the spices otherwise they will burn. Better to under fry it before you become comfortable.

Brands have entier designing marketing and packaging team working day and night to smartly hide harmful ingredients and mislead buyers into believing that the product is all natural, safe or good for health a little amount of harmful chemicals are even legally allowed by govts, which is called a permessable limit only beyond that is punishable, this limit can also vary from country to country as per their own food safety standards.
Raise voice against these companies.
My family makes the masala as we used to do in ancient times we just buy turmeric from outside but that is also freshly grinded in front of our eyes.
From basic spice to milk everything is adulterated, what should we eat then 😮

Lol, even water is not safe.. come to think of it, neither is the air we breathe... options anyone ?
who uses readymade masala for sambar and fish curry lol, not the south indians or coastal people. Only thing we use readymade masala is for pav bhaji nothing else that I know of, really nobody should use it as they are unhealthy anyways if not made fresh.
No.
Good news! Good in the sense that it will aware spices producers as well as other food processors and producers that what they should mind had they wish to export thier products abroad in a time when consumer's expecations and consciousness are always high.
This timing is beacuse of Nestle and health drink news. But these masala companies need to be pulled up
We should all demand the quick suspension of head of FSSAI
I agree with Vandhana Shiva as well
Oh...God ...i will never use Indian spices again...😢
Who gets to decide that cigarettes and smoked meat is ok but Masalas are not 😂😂

Nobody use readymade masala in our homes before 10 years The trend of making gravy punjabi curries is spreading like epidemic in india People used to make sabji with laal mirch, coriander powder, haldi, kali mirch, clove, daal chini, ginger, garlic. Thats how our food is made and even acc to ayurveda. Stop this mad culture of using excessive masala powder like paav bhaji, chole masala. Every curry tastes same due to these non sense ready made masala, nothing unique is left in each sabji then And try to have light , less oily food at dinner before 8 pm. People in india need to follow our traditional diet rather modern hectic lifestyle food to become more healthy.

Correct, spices has been eaten for thousands of years.
Good to know some countries care about their people's health
I have both, Everest's chilli powder and tumeric powder, and MDH garam masala
normally, all spices have anti- carcinogenic effect,... but i do know over a dozen years now,.. we are only eating spices,. dry fruits,... where all essential oils have been extracted,.. only remaining waste is sold devoid of the actual oil present,. naturally in each of them,...
Everything sells in India.. Who care. Even small country in Africa are taking measurements for safety.
All powdered product has maximum possibilities of adulteration so only unpowdered needs to be chosen. We can always decide our requirements and discard additional non needed. It's not possible in readymade.
In case of fat soluble chemicals used as additives or adulterated, try soaking in soapnut water. Soapnut is natural and its residue would be harmless.
Important coverage but confusing denigration of spices when the real issue is with contamination. A straightforward focus on ‘contamination in spices’ would have worked better.
The companies should look for other ways of preservation instead of the ethylene oxide.
I have been using mdh masala daily for 20 years It means i have cancer.😢😅
Expected from mdh and everest. Aachi and eastern are even worse

Please change the voiceover in the reports. It doesn't feel natural. It feels like an AI reading script. Neither the male voice nor the female voice is tolerable.
Is it using in just some spices or all?
May be packaging & transportation problem.
What is Fssai doing in India ❓ Do they need to remind that it's their job to ensure safe food for everyone or not afraid of taking on big companies for poor standards 😒
Cancer causes system after drugs and sex 😂
Now What about MDH products which is been stocked in Indian market.will they be banned or rules and regulations are only for foreign countries.
Lucky I always stick to the localized version to ensure there is no added stuff in it even while abroad.
Put heavy fine in INDIA
Let's wait for fssai reports to come.

It is the ETO process, it is used to reduce or remove fungal, Viruses and bacteria from the product. Any recovery process problem might have caused presence of ETO traces in Masalas.
Medicines banned. Now food brands banned. That's what you get when you give licences to companies without stringent quality standards. We need to start having a quality culture and neatness that rivals Singapore.
