Patanjali Foods has recalled 4 tonnes of red chilli powder from markets following the direction from food regulator The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). FSSAI asked Patanjali Foods to recall a specified batch of packed red chilli powder due to non-conformity with food safety norms.
The product samples when tested were found not conforming to the maximum permitted limit of pesticides residue. The FSSAI sets Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides residue for various food items including red chilli powder.
In line with specified regulatory norms, the company has taken immediate steps to inform its distribution channel partners and also released advertisements to reach out to the consumers who have purchased the product.
The company is undertaking assessment of its agricultural produce suppliers and taking measures to have stringent quality control processes for procurement of agricultural produce and to ensure full compliance with the FSSAI regulations.
Patanjali Foods, erstwhile Ruchi Soya Industries, sells its products under brands like Ruchi Gold, Mahakosh, Sunrich, Nutrela, Ruchi Star and Ruchi Sunlight.
