NEW
DELHI (AFP) - Authorities in a north Indian state have filed a criminal case
against Nestle India after finding dangerous levels of lead in a batch of Maggi
noodles, an official said on Sunday.
The
Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) in northern Uttar Pradesh state has
said high lead levels were found during routine tests in two dozen packets of
instant noodles, along with flavour enhancer MSG, in March.
The
FDA earlier this month ordered the company to recall the batch from stores in
the state.
Vijay
Bahadur, the state's deputy food safety commissioner, said the case was lodged
on Saturday in a local magistrate's court against Nestle India for using
misleading packaging and manufacturing potentially harmful products.
