FSSAI Orders Recall of Coriander Powder and Carrageenan Over Safety Concerns
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has ordered the immediate recall of two products: Shalimar's Chef Coriander Powder by Nilgiri Oil and Allied Industries due to pesticide residues exceeding permissible limits, and Carrageenan by Aquagri Processing Pvt Ltd for cadmium contamination. Both products were tested twice, with retests confirming safety violations. The companies appealed the findings, but the regulator upheld the recalls, citing non-compliance with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
