CHANDIGARH KRBL Limited, one of the world's largest Basmati rice exporters and maker of the India Gate brand has recalled its "India Gate Pure Basmati Rice Feast Rozzana Super Value Pack (10% Extra)" after detecting pesticides, Thiamethoxam and Isoproturon, over permissible limits. These chemicals pose potential health risks, particularly to kidney and liver functions. The recall affects one-kilogram packets packed in January 2024, with an expiration date of December 2025. While KRBL manages the recall, farmers in Punjab face a crisis.
Paddy crops are either not being lifted from mandis or are being sold at much lower prices. The Basmati 1509 variety, a crucial part of Punjab's rice economy, has dropped to Rs 2,600-3,000 per quintal, compared to Rs 3,500-3,600 per quintal last year, frustrating farmers.
KRBL clarified that the recall was limited to a single batch. A spokesperson stated, "Upon discovering the issue, we identified the batch and initiated a recall. We are reinforcing our due diligence processes to maintain the highest quality standards." The company added that pesticide control occurs at the farm level, and they are working with farmers and regulators to reduce the use of chemicals like Thiamethoxam and Isoproturon.
