    US rejected 31% of MDH exports since Oct 2023 over salmonella: Report

    MDH and Everest spices are among the most popular in India and are also sold in Europe, Asia and North America.
    Amid concerns over certain products of Indian spice makers MDH and Everest, a surge has been reported in refusal rates for spice-related shipments exported by Mahashian Di Hatti (MDH) Pvt Ltd to the United States due to salmonella contamination. Over the last six months, US customs authorities rejected 31% of MDH's spice shipments, compared to 15% in the previous year, reported The Indian Express.

    The surge in refusal rate over salmonella contamination comes at a time when both Singapore and Hong Kong suspended sales of certain items of MDH and Everest Food Products Pvt Ltd over alleged carcinogenic pesticide detection in spice mixes.

    A Reuters report suggests that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is gathering information on MDH and Everest products.
