Nestlé India has received results from all three NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accredited laboratories mandated by Bombay High Court to test newly manufactured Maggi noodles samples and all have been cleared with lead much below permissible limits. The company has stated this in a press release issued on Wednesday.
The company adds that the results validate its position that the product is safe. Nestlé India has conducted over 3,500 tests representing over 200 million packs in both national as well as international accredited laboratories for testing and all reports are clear. In addition to these, various countries including USA, the UK, Singapore, and Australia have found the product, exported from India, safe for consumption.
The release states, “Now that the orders of the Bombay High Court have been complied with, we will make our best endeavour to commence the sale of Maggi noodles Masala within this month as well as continue engaging with states where permissions are needed or specific directions may be necessary.”
It adds, “We are presently manufacturing Maggi noodles at three of our locations, at Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) and Bicholim (Goa) and for the other two locations at Tahliwal and Pantnagar, we are engaging with relevant authorities in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand to obtain directions for commencing manufacture of the product.
