FSSAI Recalls Everest Cumin Power over ‘Unsafe’ Pesticide Levels, Suspends Creative Bakers' Licence

The regulator said laboratory testing found Azoxystrobin and Thiamethoxam above prescribed limits and ordered Everest to submit a recall report.

  • The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India suspended the license of Kolkata-based Creative Bakers and Confectioners on Sunday following reports of severe hygiene and sanitation lapses at the facility.
  • Food regulators in India have intensified crackdowns on food adulteration and misleading advertisements in recent months, establishing the enforcement context for this action.
  • Testing at Riverside Resorts and Holiday Homes revealed Azoxystrobin and Thiamethoxam at "levels exceeding the prescribed limits," chemicals the regulator noted can pose health risks when regulatory thresholds are surpassed.
  • Separately, the FSSAI directed Everest to recall a batch of packaged cumin powder on Sunday after a sample from a resort in Goa tested unsafe for pesticide residues.
  • On Saturday, the FSSAI identified a sample of Nestlé low-fat dairy whitener from The LaLiT hotel in Delhi's Connaught Place as "unsafe and substandard," marking another product failure.
