According to a foreign news agency, Indian spices are suspected of containing harmful ingredients that may pose a risk of cancer, so the ingredients included in Indian spices have been declared unsuitable.
According to reports, Hong Kong suspended the sale of two Indian companies MDH and Everest spices this month due to the presence of harmful chemicals in them, while Singapore also sent back the spices of Indian companies due to harmful chemical ingredients.
