Earlier this year, Haldiram was one of the companies to face backlash on grounds of food adulteration. Claims that their products were contaminated with pesticides by the USFDA caused Haldiram to be banned in the USA.
However, on Monday the Maharashtra Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) declared that the Haldiram s food products are safe. The Times of India reported that no contamination or dangerous elements were found in the tests conducted on the 14 and 6 samples collected from Nagpur and Mumbai respectively. Lead, carbohydrate and fats were all found within permissible limits. And no dangerous elements such as sand particles or harmful organisms such as bacteria were found, according to the FDA.
