Indian brands MDH, Everest spices banned in Hong Kong, Singapore; here's why - News | Khaleej Times

khaleejtimes.com/world/indian-brands-mdh-everest-spices-banned-in-hong-kong-singapore-heres-why

Quick Glance: FSSAI Testing Spice Samples After Hong Kong, Singapore Product Recalls

Following the discovery of ethylene oxide in products from Everest and MDH in Hong Kong and Singapore, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has initiated the collection of samples of powdered spices from all brands across the country to assess their quality.

An unidentified official mentioned that India's food safety regulator has commenced sampling spices from all brands, including MDH and Everest, to ensure compliance with quality standards.

The official also highlighted that India's Food Safety and Standards Authority, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, does not monitor the quality of spices exported from the country.

According to Maharashtra Food Assistant Commissioner Ulhas Ingwale, the authority received reports of pesticide residue in specific flavors of MDH and Everest, prompting considerations for sampling and pesticide testing.

Core inflation in Singapore expected to remain elevated, before falling in fourth quarter: MAS

straitstimes.com/business/economy/core-inflation-in-singapore-expected-to-remain-elevated-before-falling-in-fourth-quarter-mas

Quick Glance: Rising Key Fed Inflation Measure in March

In March, inflation remained strong, with an important indicator closely monitored by the Federal Reserve indicating elevated price pressures.

The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy increased 2.8% from a year ago in March, above expectations.
