Key facts
- Product
- Shalimar's Chef Coriander Powder
- Manufacturer
- Nilgiri Oil & Allied Industries
- Date
- 13 Sep 2026
- Reason
- Pesticide residues above MRL, confirmed on re-test
- Type
- FSSAI-ordered recall
- Source status
- Single news report; primary order not yet located
On 13 Sep 2026 the Telugu news site 365Telugu reported that FSSAI had issued two recall orders: one for Shalimar's Chef Coriander Powder, produced by Nilgiri Oil & Allied Industries, and one for carrageenan produced by Aquagri Processing. The coriander powder was said to have failed for pesticide residues above the maximum residue limit, with the result confirmed on re-test of the retained sample.
No second source has yet been found, and the FSSAI order itself, which would carry the order number, batch numbers and the residues detected, has not been located. This entry is therefore published with a verification flag and should be read as a report of a recall rather than a confirmed record. Once the FoSCoS entry or FSSAI order is retrieved, the batch details will be added and the flag removed.
Coriander powder is a frequent recall category in India because residues from cultivation carry through drying and grinding. Consumers holding the product should check the manufacturer's name on the pack and await the batch list.
What this means for you
Treat as provisional
The recall has been reported by one outlet. The FSSAI order and batch numbers are being sought before this entry is treated as confirmed.
Residues above limit
The report says the product failed on test and again on re-test, which is the standard sequence before FSSAI orders a recall.
