Based on the FSSAI’s advice and the CFL report, further action would be taken, the Minister said.
The samples of Maggi noodles, already tested at the two National Accreditation Board for Testing (NABL)-certified laboratories in Bengaluru, are being sent for testing at the Central Food Laboratory (CFL) in Kolkata, said Minister for Health and Family Welfare U.T. Khader here on Wednesday.
“As these are private laboratories, we want tests to be done by a government lab and hence we are sending it to the CFL in Kolkata,” Mr. Khader told presspersons. He said the two NABL-accredited laboratories have found traces of glutamic acid (a component of MSG) in the samples tested.
“We have sent both the reports to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and sought clarifications.” Based on the FSSAI’s advice and the CFL report, further action would be taken, the Minister said.
