COIMBATORE: The food safety department plans to start collecting samples of Nestle milk powder from Thursday. Three teams will be sent out to Sulur, Ganapathy and Thudiyalur to collect samples of the powder from various stores. This move comes after live larvae was found in a nestle milk powder packet by a city-based taxi driver.
The powder was bought on April 14 by Prem Ananth and his wife. When they mixed a spoon of the milk powder with water and began feeding it to one of their twin babies, they noticed a small worm floating on the surface. "We immediately called up Nestle who sent a representative three days later. But they wanted to test the powder in their own lab which we were not happy with," said Ananth. After another week the powder was given to the food safety department that found it "unsafe" for consumption.
