Maharashtra FDA ne ab khule mein masale bechne par rok laga di hai. Saare masale ab sirf sealed packet mein hi milenge aur harmful 'Ethylene Oxide' ke use ko bhi ban kar diya gaya hai.
Masalon ki duniya mein badlav!
Maharashtra FDA ne food safety ko lekar ek bahut bada aur sakht order nikala hai. Ab se, aapko dukano par khule (loose) masale nahi milenge. Har masala pack hona chahiye aur uspar proper labeling honi chahiye. Iske alawa, sterilization ke liye use hone wale chemical Ethylene Oxide par bhi seedha ban laga diya gaya hai.
FDA ki ye nayi guidelines kya kehti hain?
Sirf Ethylene Oxide hi nahi, balki Metanil Yellow, Rhodamine B, Sudan dyes, aur lead chromate jaise harmful additives ko bhi purri tarah prohibit kar diya gaya hai. Ab manufacturers ko apne production ka poora record, invoices aur batch details maintain karni hongi taaki quality aur hygiene bani rahe.
Investors ke liye kya matlab hai?
Indian spice market abhi kaafi fragmented hai, yani bahut saare chhote aur unorganized players market mein hain. In naye rules se unke upar compliance ka kharcha (cost) badhega. Jo chhote players ye standards follow nahi kar payenge, unka business mushkil mein aa sakta hai.
Organized players ke liye 'Win-Win'?
Jo badi branded spice companies hain, wo already modern packaging aur hygiene standards use karti hain. Isliye, ye naya rule unke liye ek badi opportunity ki tarah hai. Consumers ka trust branded products ki taraf aur badhega, jisse organised players ka market share long-term mein grow ho sakta hai. Agar koi rule follow nahi karega, toh unka license cancel ho sakta hai ya stock bhi seize ho sakta hai. So, watch out for how this impacts the retail prices!
