Samples of Maggi noodles sent to Assam for testing

Mizoram government has sent samples of Maggi instant noodles from the state to the Assam Public Health Laboratory in Guwahati, a senior state health department official today said.
Joint Director (Food and Drugs Administration) Lalsawma told PTI that the samples were sent yesterday as Mizoram does not have testing facilities to determine food safety.
Lalsawma said that the laboratory would send its report and findings to the Mizoram health department which would be submitted to the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI).
Though the state government did not ban the Nestle product, the company continued recalling its product from the state.

He said that the recalling process progressed well but recalling all the products from all the remote villages took time.
