Nestle does not import, market or distribute Maggi noodles in the United States, the spokeswoman said. Any Maggi noodle products in US stores are sourced by retailers or imported through third parties, added the lady.
Union Health Minister J P Nadda said that his Ministry had received the reports from all the states and after assessing them it has come to the conclusion that the nine variants of Maggi should be recalled.
The probe into alleged lapses of food safety standards has already been expanded to test Maggi noodle samples from across the country following detection.
Adding to the same line, Ram Vilas Paswan, Consumer Affairs Minister, said, œ A class action suit can be initiated into the matter if a complaint with National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) is filed.
During the check the officials found a lead concentration of 17.2 parts per million (ppm), nearly seven times the permissible limit in the instant noodle. However, the acceptable limit of lead ranges between 0.01 ppm and 2.5 ppm.
The MAGGI NFT launch in the OneRare Foodverse is a game-changer for the F&B industry, setting new standards for customer engagement, and paving the way for others to follow suit.
The new range consists of four new flavours - Amritsari Achari, Mumbaiya Chatak, Super Chennai and Bengali Jhaal, which have herbs and spices used in various regional cuisines, Nestle India said in a statement.
Nestle India, which is looking to consolidate its leadership position in the noodles segment, is also working on new products and categories for overall growth.
