Ethylene Oxide in Spices: A Global Concern Ethylene oxide (ETO) contamination in spices has recently been in the spotlight due to international recalls and regulatory actions. Understanding the risks and regulations surrounding ETO is essential for food safety.

Glad that I could supply authentic, pure, unadulterated turmeric powder from our farms to a few of you!. Before global scrutiny, Indian spice maker MDH faced many US rejections. That is also true in case of other spice brands, well, not just global, I'm sure they do face charges slapped on them by the national food regulator in the subjects like hygiene and safety. It's time to change this story. Consumers becoming aware and refusing to purchase products from biggies who show this two-faced nature of claiming to be pure ("asli masale sach sach") but then not passing the global scrutiny, can perhaps change the scenario in the food industry. I have heard this during several management lectures that "consumer is the king". But in matters of food safety, this so called King is fooled and is looted not just in terms of the richness of that product but also in terms of the richness of the physical health that the product should have imparted and thus, cumulatively his entire life and lifestyle. 🌱 When I first started selling the turmeric powder grown in my farms, I started with a feeling of pity - first for myself and then for others because never in my life had I tasted this rich turmeric powder, I felt sorry that people do't get to eat that level of authentic food. 💪 I started off with a vision that people should experience this richness in the quality. The taste, aroma and colour of that turmeric powder told a story of how that turmeric crop was nurtured in the farm - organically, naturally and without the use of any herbicides (the chemical that abuses the soil health to the largest extent and does affect the ecology). I hope that in future, the king like me and you finds that richness, both in the quality of food and the quality of life that we lead. Do you also feel cheated when you see a news article like this one?

7 HALAL ISSUES IN ICE CREAM MAKING Good Morning..its June already. I would like to say thank you for the good response from my previous article about 7 halal issue in ice cream and I appreciate for the one that gave suggestions to make it into pictorial or info graphic form. I wish I could do it, but time is envy about it. But Insha'Allah, will looking forward to do it later. Alright without further ado, here we continue to the 7th halal issue in Ice Cream making. GM food ingredients may not be totally Non Halal (Haram), but it may considered as doubtful since there could be animal genes are introduced into plants. GM food is not just concerned by Muslim consumers but also Non Muslim consumers as well.     One of the issue raised is inserting chymosin (active enzyme from calf stomach) into microbial cells producing microbial rennet which is the most common used in cheese production today and it is considered as halal. It is a challenge to maintain the Halal-ness of each ingredients as well as ice cream as end product from ‘crops to cones’. Raw ingredients concerns are from the source, the process until it should be protected or prevent from contaminated with Non Halal items during storage and distribution till it reach consumers. However, since there are many local Halal Authority throughout the globe, you can depend on their certification or logo on the label or front door display. This article continues in my next post due to limitation of words.

🌿 Nourishing our Souls: Embracing Tayyab Food Choices in Ramadan 🌿 “O mankind, eat from whatever is on the Earth that is Halal and Tayyib.” Quran 2:168 As we strive to ensure our food is halal during this blessed month, let's also reflect on the importance of embracing Tayyab, wholesome, and pure food choices. Tayyab food goes beyond mere permissibility; it encompasses ethical sourcing, purity, and wholesomeness. It's about nourishing our bodies and souls with food that aligns with our values and respects the blessings bestowed upon us. What are the criteria for Tayyab food? It includes avoiding harmful additives, adhering to proper hygiene standards, ethical treatment of animals, transparency in sourcing, and the absence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). While it may seem challenging to fulfil every criterion, there are simple changes we can incorporate into our diets. Opting for free-range eggs and chickens over caged or farmed ones is one example. Another crucial aspect is choosing the right fats. Did you know coconut oil, despite being saturated, is one of the healthiest oils? On the other hand, margarine, often perceived as a healthier alternative, contains harmful trans fats. Making a simple but impactful change, such as using quality oils like coconut and olive instead of margarine or unhealthy vegetable oils, can significantly improve our health. Moreover, if frying is necessary, avoid reusing oils to prevent the formation of toxic substances that lead to inflammation and disease. What other changes will you make to align your diet with the recommended tayyab standards? Let's use this Ramadan as an opportunity to nourish our bodies and souls with food that is not only halal but also Tayyab, ensuring our physical and spiritual well-being. #TayyabFood #HealthyEating #RamadanNutrition #NourishingTheSoul
