GUWAHATI: After the Maggi fiasco, Assam has now prohibited the manufacture, storage, distribution and sale of Wai Wai 1-2-3 Noodles (mini) and Wai Wai Mimi ready-to-eat noodles after they tested positive for monosodium glutamate (MSG), a banned flavour enhancer.
The curbs were imposed for an initial period of 30 days with immediate effect in the interests of public health, the state government said in a notification issued on Monday, adding that the products were declared unsafe under the Food Safety and Standards Act of 2006.
Samples of both the noodle products- Wai Wai 1-2-3 Noodles (mini) and Wai Wai Mimi tested positive for monosodium glutamate, which is not allowed to be used as an additive in pastas and noodles.
The new ban order comes into effect two weeks after Maggi was banned in the state.
It appears that the said prohibition orders are on 2015 and not of 2018. has they issued some new orders in 2018 as well. if yes, can you please provide a link of the same.
