Maggi samples being tested in TN

CHENNAI: The Food safety wing of Tamil Nadu govt has obtained Maggi samples from Chennai and other places across the state. Samples are being tested and results will be out after 2 days, officials said. The Tamil Nadu government will decide on its course of action after the results.
Maggi, the two-minute gastronomical delight of children, flew off the shelves for the wrong reason on Tuesday.State governments from Delhi to Kerala, and from Tamil Nadu to Haryana, Maharashtra and West Bengal, deployed officials to randomly collect Maggi samples of different batches and dates for testing the safety of its content.
The Central Government had made it clear yesterday that Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is testing more Maggi samples collected from different states following the detection of MSG and lead in excess of the prescribed limit in the noodles.
Last week, a case had been lodged against Nestle India by state food regulator FSDA in a local court at Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh over safety standards of its Maggi, while actors Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta have also been dragged into it for promoting the 'two-minute' noodles brand.
