The Indian government has asked for details from Hong Kong and Singapore regarding the ban on popular Indian spice brands MDH and Everest. The ban came after concerns over product quality, with allegations of cancer-causing pesticides. The Commerce Ministry is seeking technical data and exporter information to determine the ban's cause and corrective measures. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India is conducting quality checks on MDH and Everest products for the presence of ethylene oxide, a harmful pesticide. Investigations are ongoing to ensure consumer safety.
