Today, we're diving into a concerning issue affecting Indian spices exported worldwide. Last year, several spices sold in the USA were contaminated with salmonella, a bacteria known to cause serious food poisoning. But that's not all—Singapore and Hong Kong recently discovered that many Indian spices contain ethylene oxide, a cancer-linked chemical banned in numerous countries.

Stick around as we unpack the implications of these findings and what it means for the safety standards of Indian food products on the global stage.
