New Zealand looking into Indian spice brands over contamination
New Zealand's food safety regulator on Wednesday said it is investigating possible contamination in spice products of top Indian brands MDH and Everest after they faced scrutiny in other countries. The United States and Australia have been looking into contamination after Hong Kong last month suspended sales of three spice blends of MDH and one of Everest, saying they contained high levels of a cancer-causing pesticide, ethylene oxide. In a statement to Reuters, the regulator, New Zealand Food Safety, said it is aware of the overseas recalls.
