More Maggi Samples Being Tested, Government Says Brand Ambassadors Can be Held Liable
Government today said Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is testing more Maggi samples collected from different states in the wake of UP FSDA finding monosodium glutamate and lead in excess of the prescribed limit in the instant noodles.
While complete report of the tests are expected in the next two to three days, the government said Maggi brand ambassadors will also be liable for action if advertisements are found to be misleading.
"FSSAI has taken up the case, it will take action. We have already written to the FSSAI," Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan told reporters in New Delhi.
