A sigh of relief, dals imported to India are safe: FSSAI

After The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India warned consumers from eating moong & masoor daals regularly, as they contain Glyphosate, a press release by FSSAI now states that 'imported pulses and beans are safe'. Tests were conducted in the past month to show that only 7 out 319 consignments tested had glyphosate. These were within the prescribed Maximum Residue Levels. The food safety regulator will continue to monitor imported pulses for some time.
