Maggi Lead Contamination

Following the Rs.640 crore suit, the apex consumer court made some bold statements.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), had said in its ban-order issued on June 5, that tests conducted on a batch of Maggi were found to contain more-than-permissible levels of lead and high quantities of mono-sodium glutamate (MSG).

Shares of Nestle India plunged over 5 per cent today after the food safety watchdog FSSAI said it has not given any clean chit to the company's banned Maggi noodles.

Five samples of Maggi noodles sent to a central government-run laboratory in Karnataka for re-analysis have been found safe for consumption, a top health official said but refused to give it a clean chit.

In a major boost to Nestle India, FSSAI-approved laboratory has found Maggi noodles to be in compliance with the country's food safety standards.

Battling the Maggi controversy, global giant Nestle on Friday recalled its current India chief Etienne Benet to Switzerland head office and appointed Suresh Narayanan as his successor -- the first Indian to get this position after a gap of over 16 years.

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that Maggi noodles samples it tested were found to contain lead within permissible limits.

After much contention and backlash over excess lead and monosodium glutamate (MSG) in its product, Nestle India has decided to take it off the shelves.

Nestle India Ltd has denied that food inspectors in Uttar Pradesh have ordered the company to recall a batch of Maggi noodles on the grounds that it contained dangerous levels of lead.

Maggi noodles contain not only monosodium glutamate, or MSG, but it also contains extremely high levels of lead - nearly seven times the permissible limit - a test conducted by the government has found.

In the world of food, how long can you keep a secret? If reports are to be believed, then Maggi has kept the secret for almost 40 years.
