This comes at a time when Indian spice brands are under heightened scrutiny from FSSAI as well as some international regulators. “Over 4,000 samples of spices were picked up as part of the pan-India testing drive. We have received lab reports of about 2,000 samples. About 100 samples failed on certain parameters such as pesticides. These food business operators have been asked to stop sale of batches of their products that failed the tests,” officials told businessline.
