Food Safety Alert: Contamination of Food Coriander Seeds
On October 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the contamination of food coriander seeds. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified the presence of an unauthorized substance, specifically Seroquel, in these seeds originating from India.

Consumers are advised to exercise caution and avoid the consumption of coriander seeds sourced from the affected region until further investigations are conducted.
