HYDERABAD: Kerala government on Tuesday issued an order to temporarily stop
distribution of Maggi noodles from over 1,000 retail outlets in the
state in the wake of Uttar Pradesh FSDA finding monosodium glutamate and
lead above permissible limits in the popular snack.
State Food
and Civil Supplies Minister Anoop Jacob's office said an order had been
issued to temporarily stop the distribution of Maggi noodles from its
retail outlets in the state forthwith till the
Kerala State Civil Supplies corporation, also known as Supplyco, has around 1,400 outlets throughout the state.
The
Centre had made it clear on Monday that Food Safetza and Standards
Authority of India (FSSAI) is testing more Maggi samples collected from
different states following the detection of monosodium glutamate and
lead in excess of the prescribed limit in the noodles.
A case had
been lodged against Nestle India by state food regulator FSDA in a local
court at Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh over safety standards of its Maggi,
while actors Amitabh
Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta have also been separately dragged to court for promoting the 'two-minute' noodles brand.Courtesy by DC
