No ethylene oxide used in domestic masala products, confirms Dabur - Video
|
Overview
Dabur India clarified that its domestic masala products, including those under the Badshah brand, are not treated with ethylene oxide. While ethylene oxide is used within prescribed limits for international markets, Dabur ensures adherence to safety standards, as affirmed by the Indian Spice Board. The company's batches for export undergo scrutiny to meet required standards, with a preference for steam sterilization over ethylene oxide.
Despite recent bans on MDH and Everest spices in Singapore and Hong Kong due to elevated ethylene oxide levels, Dabur's masala portfolio remains unaffected. The company emphasized its commitment to safety and established a micro lab to ensure sterilization of export batches without ethylene oxide.
