FSSAI orders Everest to recall a cumin powder batch after unsafe sample

The Economic Times, citing India's food regulator FSSAI, reports that Everest Food Products was ordered to immediately recall the implicated batch of pre-packed cumin powder. A food analyst and a referral lab found azoxystrobin and thiamethoxam residues above prescribed limits and deemed the sample unsafe. FSSAI also suspended Creative Bakers and Confectioners’ licence over severe hygiene deficiencies.
