Basically the condiments and seasoning are regular and are at completely acceptable levels in the jewnited states.

The goods were found to contain 0.1 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to 2.6 mg/kg of ethylene oxide, the administration said.

The United States (US) has MRLs for EtO (7 mg/kg for spices, dried herbs, sesame seeds, and 50 mg/kg for walnuts). Canada aligns with US MRLs

So Taiwan has standards 2.7-70x more sensitive than the US and Canada.

Another sign of how far we have fallen.
