Indo Nissin Foods has ordered the withdrawal of its instant noodles brand 'Top Ramen' from the Indian market following an advisory from central food safety regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, or FSSAI.
The move comes in the wake of the controversy over Maggi noodles, after which the FSSAI had ordered the testing of all instant noodles, pastas and macaroni brands sold by seven companies to check compliance of norms.
"We had sought clarification from FSSAI since Top Ramen product approval is pending with the regulator. They have requested us to withdraw the product until they give the approval," read a statement from Gautam Sharma, managing director of Indo Nissin Foods Pvt Ltd.
Top Ramen, Mr Sharma's statement read, was extensively tested over the last few weeks.
