New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked consumer affairs ministry not to make unnecessary noise till all facts come to light on the Maggi issue, consumer affairs minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Thursday, indicating that government agencies should not jump to conclusion.
Paswan said, “On Tuesday, the Prime Minister had also said whatever people say, we should maintain decorum on this issue (Maggi).Until we do not get the fact findings done, there's no need to create unnecessary noise.“ He was at an event organized by industry body , Assocham.
The minister also said that he was confident of Maggi making a comeback to the stores soon. “The latest tests conducted by the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) have found Maggi safe. I have a gut feeling it will return to retail shelves soon,“ said Paswan.
The observation came a day after the national food safety and standards regulator, FSSAI, said that Maggimaker Nestle India did not get a clean chit and insisted that its ban on the instant noodles is still effective.
Paswan also said that af ter Maggi ban the perception of people has changed. “Foreign investors will also now think twice before investing in India. Our credibility is at stake,“ he said adding, “But all this can be rectified only after addressing all concerns. The concerns of our consumers are most important.“
