Thank you Singapore regulators for doing the work of Indian regulators. Indian tax money saved.

[@shank1806]

No, Indian tax money isn't saved. It's being used for all sorts of useless activities instead of what really matters.

we are strong human species who are presume to consume every thing that is served. when will our regulators will capture such irregular practice. so many drugs and other foodstuffs are banned overseas that is served openly on our selves.

The problem here is the poor availability of gamma radiation for sterilization of masala powders. Ask IAEA and BARC to make gamma radiation readily available to these companies. They will never have to turn to ethylene oxide, ever again.
