Our spices do not contain ethylene oxide : MDH
MDH Enterprises has rejected the claims made by Hong Kong and Singapore
New Delhi – Indian establishment MDH has faced a ban on three of their spices in Hong Kong and Singapore after these spices were found to contain higher than permitted levels of ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is said to cause cancer. MDH has now released a statement claiming that their products are 100% safe and has refuted claims by food regulators in Hong Kong and Singapore that some of their products contained the pesticide ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide is not used in our spices!

In the statement, MDH Enterprises stated that they have not received any letter from the food safety regulators of Hong Kong and Singapore. The claims that their products include carcinogenic substance ethylene oxide are false and without solid evidence. The Indian food regulatory board has not received any test reports on this matter from the officials of Hong Kong or Singapore. We assure our customers about the safety and quality of all our products. Ethylene oxide is not used at any stage of storage, processing, or packing of spices. The establishment adheres to domestic and international health and safety standards.
A ban has been imposed in Hong Kong on MDH’s Madras Curry Powder, Sambhar Masala, Mixed Spice Powder, and Curry Masala Powder.
