New Delhi: Days After Maggi ban, it is the turn on Haldiram food products.
According a recent report published in Wall Street Journal, the US-food and drug regulator safety inspectors have found some other ‘made-in-India’ products unfit for sale in America.
The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has claimed that the products from popular Indian snack brand, Haldiram, have pesticides and other harmful bacteria in high levels.
In the past one year, US-food and drug regulator has reportedly rejected more than 2,000 import batches of `made in India’ products across food, personal care and health supplement categories.
There are so many rejections happened even in the last year. The products rejected are manufactured by leading companies such as Britannia, Nestle India, Hindustan Unilever, Haldiram, MTR Foods and Heinz India.
According to FDA they are now rejected by FDA for containing pesticides in the samples of Haldirams products imported in America.
AK Tyagi, a senior-vice president at Haldiram’s, has told the Wall Street Journal that discrepancies were listed by FDA because of different food-safety standards in India and the US. He also underlined that the pesticide, permitted in India, may not be allowed there.
