KOCHI:The officials of KKR food products, which bring out products under Nirapara brand, said that the company keeps in mind the health concerns of the consumers while bringing out their goods and steps have already been taken to ensure quality.
In a press conference, Nirapara chairman K K Karnan pointed out that Kerala High Court order revoking the ban on Nirapara brand of chilly, turmeric and coriander powders is a vindication of the stand taken by the company. Nirapara spices are being sold in other parts of the country and being exported to various countries including Gulf, USA and Europe which have stringent food safety laws. Not a single complaint has come from these countries so far. Moreover, it is impossible to get market entry in these countries without ensuring quality.
The Commissioner of Food Safety can order a ban under section 34 of the Food Safety and Standard Act only if the product is found unsafe for human consumption.
But as Nirapara spices were not found unsafe for human consumption, the court made it clear that the ban order by the Commissioner was null and void, Karnan pointed out. Nirapara vice chairman Biju Karnan was also present.
