On 12 Sep 2026 FSSAI announced on social media that it had issued two recall directions, reported by IANS, ETV Bharat and others: 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.
The first test found the sample unsafe, and the re-test was reported as not satisfactory for pesticide residues. The FSSAI order itself, which would carry the order number, batch numbers and the residues detected, has not been published. Once the FoSCoS recall entry appears, the batch details will be added here.
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

FSSAI announced the recall on social media and several outlets reported it. The order itself, with batch numbers, has not been published; the FoSCoS entry will be linked here when it appears.
