In an era of digital disruptions and reduced attention span, everyone should learn this old journalistic adage: ‘Keep it short and simple’.
The nation has become the latest jurisdiction to ban the import and sale of two popular Indian spice brands after reports that some of their products contained a cancer-causing pesticide, officials said Friday.
Besides its use as a pesticide, ethylene oxide is used to sterilise medical equipment and as a sterilising agent in spices to prevent illnesses caused by salmonella and E Coli bacteria. Matina Joshi Vaidya, chief of Nepal’s Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, said that the Himalayan country had also decided to halt the sale of the spice blends.Nepal has banned four products – three variants produced by MDH and one by Everest.
Everest and MDH are India’s top two spice brands with a market share of 16% and 10% respectively in 2022, according to consumer research monitor Statista.
