Maggi noodles found with high level of lead
Print Edition
AUTHORITIES in a north Indian state have filed a criminal case against Nestle India after finding dangerous levels of lead in a batch of Maggi noodles, an official said yesterday.
The Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) in northern Uttar Pradesh state has said high lead levels were found during routine tests in two dozen packets of instant noodles, along with flavor enhancer MSG, in March.
The FDA earlier this month ordered the company to recall the batch of noodles from stores in the state.
Vijay Bahadur, the state’s deputy food safety commissioner, said the case was lodged on Saturday in a local magistrate’s court against Nestle India for using misleading packaging and manufacturing potentially harmful products.
Nestle India, which sells a vast number of products in India including two-minute noodles, has rejected the FDA’s findings and has been conducting its own tests of the batch.
“We will share our results with authorities and continue to collaborate fully with them to bring this matter to a conclusion,” the company said.
