Allergen & Cross-Contamination Information
-
The product itself contains only poppy seeds.
-
However, as with many spice/seed packings, there may be a risk of cross-contact with other allergens (such as nuts, sesame, etc.) depending on the packing facility. (Exact allergen-control details should always be checked on the actual packaging of your batch).
-
For those with severe seed or nut allergies, always review the “packed in a facility” statement on the bag.
Storage & Handling
-
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
-
After opening, keep the pack tightly sealed or transfer contents to an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent absorption of odours.
-
Use within a reasonable time after opening for best flavour and aroma.

-
Trusted brand: Ali Baba — a recognised name in Indian/Middle Eastern seeds & spice range.

Usage Note
-
Because poppy seeds can absorb moisture and lose aroma over time, it is best to use them while fresh.
-
If grinding or using in a paste, soak briefly to release oils for better aroma.
-
In baking, they add texture more than strong flavour, so you may wish to combine with other flavouring ingredients (e.g., lemon zest, almond, vanilla) depending on the recipe.
