Guinness World Records certified Hilda as the new record holder on Tuesday, but her official record was 93 hours and 11 minutes instead of the 100 hours she initially reached.
The board said she mistakenly took extra minutes during one of her breaks at the cook-a-thon venue.
In 2019, Tondon set the previous record by cooking nonstop for 87 hours and 45 minutes.
