Ban on Maggi deferred by Mizoram govt
June 08, 2015
Finally, some good news for Maggi.
The Mizoram government today deferred banning of 'Maggi' instant noodles
acting on instructions from the Food Safety and Standard Authority of
India.
Joint Director of Health Services (Food and Drugs Administration)
Lalsawma told PTI that a meeting, convened by state Food Safety
Commissioner Dr K Ropari, today deliberated on the instructions received
from the FSSAI and decided not to ban 'Maggi' outright.
"The meeting was of the opinion that the matter should be carefully
handled and the centre asked the state government to draw samples of the
product for tests," Mr Lalsawma said.
Besides drawing samples for tests, the state health department would
also wait and watch how the Nestle company recalled its products from
the state, he said.
The state government has banned import and sale of four energy drinks.
