Spices safe, no notice from Hong Kong, Singapore: MDH

The over-100-year-old brand said that it does not use ethylene oxide at any stage of storing, processing or packaging its spices. "MDH's statement is further supported by the fact that nodal regulatory authorities such as the Spice Board of India and FSSAI have not received any communication or test reports from Hong Kong or Singapore authorities regarding this matter.
