Lazy mothers feed their kids Maggi: Indore BJP MLA justifies ban

June 07, 2015 12:51

Justifying the ban on Maggi, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Indore in Madhya Pradesh Usha Thakur said mothers across the country have gone lazy and that's why they feed their children instant noodles.

The remarks came as the Nestle India's product has been banned in 13 states after it allegedly violated food safety standards.

Usha Thakur said, "I think it is required to ban Maggi. The new generation mothers are lazy, hence feed their children Maggi."

The regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, meanwhile, said it will test samples of instant noodles across brands to ensure food safety.
