A case too had been filed against them by the district food safety department. The food regulatory authority has been keeping a close watch on multinationals after the recent ban on Maggi.
The panel identified foods high in fat, sugar and salt that must be limited by schools in canteens.
\"The company has made relentless efforts in building world class brands, which had garnered an annual consumer, spend of Rs 11,000 crore,\" added Deveshwar.
The Minister said that the key duty of FSSAI is to lay down science based food standards, make regulations, regulate imports and undertake coordination with states and UTs on food safety.
FSSAI had earlier argued that it had not banned Maggi, but only asked the company to stop the manufacture and sale as it contained lead beyond the permissible limit.
The tenure of the chairman is for three years. Until now Bhanu Pratap Sharma, secretary health and family welfare, was temporarily in charge of the position.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Nestle India against FSSAI™s June 5 order banning nine variants of Maggi and Maharashtra government™s order prohibiting the sale of Maggi.
