Must Read

The Food Standards Authority (FSA) in the UK has confirmed that results from testing samples of Maggi Noodles in the UK have all found that levels of lead in the product is well within EU permissible levels and would not be a concern to consumers.
“Following an incident in India, where a sample of Maggi Noodles was reported to contain high levels of lead, the Food Standards Agency made the decision to test a selection of Maggi Noodles as a precaution,” the FSA said in a statement.
Nestlé informed the FSA that the only variety of Maggi Noodles they import into the UK from India is the ‘masala flavour.’ “The FSA has now tested this flavour and others from the Maggi noodles range, as a precaution. As well as tests carried out by local authorities, the FSA has also asked Nestlé to provide it with test results from its own samples. All showed levels of lead to be well within EU permissible levels,” it said.
The total number of samples taken from Nestlé, local authorities and port authorities were around 900 in total.
Made-in-India Maggi noodles are typically imported by Singapore, Canada, the US, the UK and Australia. Right now, only Australia has temporarily suspended imports. On June , Singapore’s food safety authorities also deemed India-made Maggi to be safe.
