Nepal has banned the sale and import of four Indian spice-mix products from MDH and Everest due to ethylene oxide contamination. The affected products are MDH's Madras Curry Powder, Sambhar Mixed Masala Powder, Mixed Masala Curry Powder, and Everest's Fish Curry Masala. Following similar actions by Singapore and Hong Kong, Nepal's Department of Food Technology and Quality Control found ethylene oxide levels exceeding permissible limits, prompting the ban. Importers and traders are advised to recall these products from the market. This issue threatens to significantly impact India's spice exports.
