Nestle India on Wednesday said all samples from the freshly manufactured stocks of Maggi have been found to be safe by the government-approved labs and the company is > likely to start retail sales this month .
“We have received results from all three NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accredited laboratories mandated by the Bombay High Court to test newly manufactured Maggi Noodles samples. All the samples of the Maggi Noodles Masala have been cleared with lead much below permissible limits,” the company said. These samples were produced at Nestle’s Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) and Bicholim (Goa) facilities. Production is yet to resume at Tahliwal (Himachal Pradesh) and Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) for which it is in discussions with the State governments.
“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,” Nestle India added.
