🛑 "Lessons from MDH's U.S. Rejections" 🛑 In an industry built on trust and quality, recent scrutiny of Indian spice giants like MDH and Everest has spotlighted the global expectations for food safety. According to a Reuters analysis, 14.5% of MDH's U.S. shipments since 2021 were rejected due to contamination issues, with challenges ranging from salmonella presence to alleged use of ethylene oxide—a banned substance in some regions. While MDH maintains that its processes are safe and compliant, these developments underline a critical truth for Indian spice exporters: 🔑 Global markets demand unwavering compliance with food safety standards. With India producing and exporting billions in spices annually, the stakes are high. A lapse in quality control doesn’t just impact one company—it can dent the reputation of Indian exporters as a whole. Key Takeaways for Exporters Like Us at Greatmed International: Quality Assurance Is Key: Building robust safety systems and earning certifications like FDA and FSSAI is non-negotiable.
