May 30, 2015 10:38
The Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration has given its go ahead to prosecute Nestle India, which manufactures instant noodles Maggi, a batch of which was found to contain dangerous levels of lead, reports NDTV.
A complaint case against Nestle will be filed in the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's court in Barabanki district, which is where the samples had been taken for testing.
Last month, the UP Food Safety and Drug Administration had asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added monosodium glutamate, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.
Local FSDA officials had said the packets of instant noodles tested in the state-run laboratory were contaminated.
