batch of instant noodles worth more than £32m is being
destroyed by Nestle, in what could be a major blow to the
company's reputation across India.
Maggi noodles, the brand's fastest-selling product, were ordered
off shop shelves a fortnight ago after government tests revealed
some packets contained unsafe levels of lead
.
Although Nestle insists the noodles are safe to eat, a massive
operation is under way to collect tainted stock from factories and
shops across the country.
Before the contamination scandal took hold, Maggi had an 80%
share of the instant noodles market - and it had been named as
one of India's five most-trusted brands.
But at the start of June, safety officials in Delhi discovered the
product had 17.2 parts per million of lead.
Accepted limits in the country are between 0.01 and 2.5 parts
per million.
Consuming excessive amounts of lead can lead to bones, the
nervous system and kidneys becoming damaged - and it has been
linked to learning disorders in children.
Also found inside the products were elevated levels of MSG, a
flavour enhancer which was not included in the list of ingredients.
When the food scare began, Nestle claimed tests performed on
125 million packets of Maggi noodles proved that they were
compliant with food safety standards.
Since its launch in the 1980s, Maggi has become popular with
students in schools and universities across India, generating sales
of £157m each year.
Nestle India is currently challenging the ban imposed by India's
food safety regulator.

I think it's high time NAFDAC do the needful locally here in checking and performing forensic analysis and investigation of noodles sold to the Nigerian market. There are various types of noodles in the market now, who knows if one of this producers are using formulars that where used in other developed country.

I can still remember chocolate royal scam.


Corporate mass killing.
