Mint Mumbai

September 20, 2025

India's food safety regulator has ordered an enforcement blitz on spice manufacturers across the country, in a move to combat adulteration and safeguard public health.

The drive will specifically target black pepper, cardamom, chilli, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and turmeric, all key ingredients in Indian recipes.

The FSSAI action targets a key segment of India’s $20 billion spice market. The month-long drive, starting 1 October, coincides with the peak festive season and follows earlier checks that revealed widespread noncompliance with quality and safety standards.
