It has too be because the output is same .
Because many times quality of product that is being exported is different than that is produced for local consumption, depending on export market regulation......

Its said that Maruti-Suzuki cars are also exported to other countries with much better safety features than those for local sale......

Maggi instant noodles produced in India are safe to eat, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said on Monday night.

AVA has informed affected Singapore importers that sale of the brand's noodles from India may be resumed, after food safety tests found that the product does not pose risks to consumers.

It had earlier advised importers to withhold sales while it conducted laboratory tests, following concerns over higher-than-permissible levels of lead in the product.

Results from AVA's laboratory tests, which cover "a wide range of hazards associated with food", showed that the India-made Maggi instant noodles meet local food safety standards.

Nestle moves court against ban of Maggi noodles

11maggi.jpg


Multinational giant Nestle India Ltd on Thursday challenged in the Mumbai High Court the orders of food authorities banning nine variants of its instant product ‘Maggi’ from the Indian market for being ‘hazardous’ to public health and the plea will be heard on Friday.

The revision application (appeal against the impugned orders passed by authorities in Delhi and Maharashtra) was mentioned orally by the company's counsel before a division bench of Justice V M Kanade and B P Colabawalla which posted it for hearing on Friday.

The lawyer urged the court to hear the matter urgently as the company had suffered losses because of the food regulator's orders which had asked Nestle India Ltd to withdraw and recall the products from the market with immediate effect after finding that they were ‘hazardous to public health because of presence of lead more than the permissible limits’.

Nestle urged the high court to quash the June 5 order of Delhi-based Food Safety and Standards Authority of India asking the company to withdraw and recall all its nine variants of Maggi from the market as they were unsafe and hazardous for human consumption.

The impugned orders also asked the company to stop production, processing, import, distribution and sale of their products with immediate effect, said Nestle.
