NESTLE India on Friday (Jun 12) rejected allegations that insects were found in its Maggi noodles product, after news agency ANI reported India’s food regulator had taken cognisance of social media complaints and issued notice to the consumer goods company.

Nestle India said in a statement that the concern was raised from an unverified social media account and that the account holder did not respond to repeated requests for the sample.

Testing of a reference sample from the same batch at an independent laboratory notified by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) found no infestation, Nestle India said.

It added that quality records, test reports and a detailed representation had been submitted to the regulator. REUTERS
