#Alert! Pesticide Residues Found in 'Everest Fish Curry Masala'!
Everest Fish Curry Masala, a widely exported spice blend from India, is now under scrutiny overseas. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has raised alarming claims that this popular masala contains excessive levels of pesticide residues. As a consequence, the SFA has mandated a recall of the Fish Masala packets. This action was initiated in response to a notification from the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety, which reported elevated levels of Ethylene Oxide in the product—substantially higher than permitted limits.
Ethylene Oxide is typically used in agriculture to prevent microbial contamination, but it is not approved for use in food. Although occasional consumption of food contaminated with low levels of Ethylene Oxide may not pose immediate danger, long-term exposure can lead to serious health issues. Consequently, stringent measures are recommended to minimize its usage in consumables. The manufacturer, SP Muthiah & Sons Pvt Ltd, has been advised to start the recall process, although there has been no response from Everest Company on these allegations yet.
