Overview
- The 100 g Curry Pulver Madras, Mild by Orient Master GmbH was recalled nationally after consumer portals reported unauthorized industrial dye Rhodamin B in the spice.
- Contaminated jars sold across 12 German states from Baden-Württemberg to Schleswig-Holstein have been removed from store shelves.
- Manufacturer Carl Roth classifies Rhodamin B as acutely toxic by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact, warning it can cause nausea, vomiting and organ damage.
- Research cited by the International Agency for Research on Cancer indicates that prolonged exposure to Rhodamin B may carry carcinogenic and genotoxic risks.
- Customers are urged to return affected jars at any point of purchase for a full refund as authorities and consumer watchdogs continue monitoring the spice market.
