Maggi's manufacturing license likely to be cancelled

Lucknow: Post it was proved that Maggi contains deadly Monosodium glutamate, a kind of Amino Acid, now the concerned authority, Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA), is gearing up to cancel the license of the company, informed the sources on Saturday.

In the wake of children’s health, FSDA has decided to appeal before Central Food Safety and Standards Authority (CFSSA) to cancel the manufacturing license of Nestle Indian which manufactures Maggi.

The internal sources have informed us that the detailed action report has already been prepared into the matter and by Monday, it would be transferred to CFSSA Director Enforcement for further actions.

It is to tell you that recently, Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) bought a Maggi packet from EasyDay store in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh. The organization then sent it to Kolkata’s referral lab for further testing.

The test results not only showed that it is highly harmful for the kids but also inspired FSDA to take stringent action against the company. Now, the organization has put a ban on selling of this batch of Maggi.

In its report, FSDA has mentioned that the banned batch of Maggi contains 17.2 parts per million LED while only 2.7 parts per million is consumable amount. This not only makes the product harmful for health but also deadly for the consumers. 

Well FSDA act says that if any product contains Monosodium glutamate, it must mention it on the wrapper and it should also inform that it shouldn’t be consumed by those below the age of 12. 

Even the child specialists also reiterate the same thing about the products containing dangerous Monosodium glutamate. 

FSDA Assistant Commissioner Vijay Bahadur says, “In few days, we will send our appeal for cancellation of manufacturing license of Nestle India to Central Head office. The chemicals traced in Maggi have been found highly dangerous for health in the lab test and on behalf of the report, we will apple CFSSA to ban selling of Maggi product across the whole country.”

Well, this is a stunning revelation as the company has been harming the health of millions of children across the country. We expect that CFSSA will take all necessary stringent actions against the company and will ban the deadly product Maggi in the country.
