Not only Maggi, many other Nestlé products faced queries
Maggi noodles is not the only product for which Nestlé India has faced queries.
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has closed more than 15 files related to the Swiss food major in the first four months of 2015.
These are among the 1,000-odd products for which files had been closed by FSSAI till the end of April.
Closed files refer to applications received by the regulator for product approvals and then closed because of ‘non-submission of satisfactory response to the clarifications sought’, according to the FSSAI website.
Vitamin pre-mix, tri magnesium citrate, lactobacillus (probiotic preblends), asparaginase enzyme, beetroot juice concentrate, butter milk, mango lassi, sweet lassi, oil medium chain triglycerides, tapioca starch, Maggi spice, Neslac, a variant of Lactogen, resource dialysis and resource renal are among the product approval applications of Nestlé India closed by FSSAI this year.
The list of applications rejected this year till April 30 stretches to 217...........
Nestlé India figures in the list of those which got approvals this year too.
Nestlé India’s approval came for naturally carbonated mineral water, among other products.
The Swiss food major had exited the water category in India several years ago, though it’s a top brand in many other geographies.
