The Hindu Business Line : Aflatoxin test for chilli extended

COONOOR: The requirement to carry a certificate from Spices Board on the level of aflatoxin in consignments has been made compulsory for chilli exports to Japan and Canada.

Consignments containing chillies, chilli products and other food products having chilli in any form should be subject to pre-shipment inspection for aflatoxin. The board's certificate that the consignment does not contain aflatoxin beyond acceptable levels is required for exporting. This will now be applicable for shipments to Europe, the US, Canada, Japan and West Asian countries.
