Spices Board comes up with guidelines for exporters

The Spices Board has come up with detailed guidelines for exporters on preventing Ethylene Oxide (ETO) contamination in spices after Singapore and Hong Kong recalled some packaged spice products exported from India, while the US and Australia are also examining the matter. The guidelines advise exporters against using ETO as a sterilising agent to reduce microbial contamination in spices consignments and suggest alternatives such as steam sterilisation and irradiation (not applicable to organic products under NPOP). The Board has also provided the Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) for ETO permitted in major markets, including the EU, the UK, the US, Singapore, Switzerland and Turkey in the guidelines. CODEX, the international standard setting body under WHO and FAO, has not fixed any MRLs for spices, as per a report.
