A noodles ban in faraway India provokes NAFDAC to action in Nigeria and sets the entire East African market afire. Now, as the epic 2-minute noodles case between Swiss Giant, Nestle and tough Indian regulator, FSSA, draws closer to a possible finale this July, what implications could it have for the Nigerian and African market? We also ask the question, should you be worried about the health risks of consuming Instant Noodles?
In the last one year, observers of the huge noodles market in the international scene have watched with fascination as the popular category continues to face huge credibility challenges. Last year in India, Maggi noodles came under fire when the Indian food and safety standards authority(FSSA) conducted tests that appeared to show that the levels of lead found in the noodles were much higher than were permitted. Their report said that the “sample taken by the establishment of the commissioner of Food Safety…found presence of lead at 17.2ppm”. (ppm means “parts per million”). The permitted level of lead of lead in such foodstuffs in India is only 2.5 ppm so if these figures are to be believed the level of lead found is about seven times higher than is thought acceptable. This, according to experts is particularly worrisome because children are major consumers of the product and excess levels of lead are implicated in learning and development difficulties in children.
The multinational however protested, drawing attention to her own tests which show that the FSSA results are incorrect. Instead the claim that their results “show that lead levels are well within the limits specified by food regulations and that Maggi noodles are safe to eat”. The controversy ended in court with Nestle arguing about the correct results and issues relating to the interpretation of the Food Safety and Standards Act”... https://etimesafrica./2016/08/22/do-you-really-need-to-eat-that-noodles-and-pasta/
