The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) hereby brings to the attention of the general public that some
Maggi noodle produced by Nestle India contains excess lead and were therefore
deemed unsafe and hazardous for human consumption.
Nestle has recalled its Maggi instant noodles from stores
across India following the report by the Indian Food Safety Regulators of
probable lead contamination. Lead exposure causes an estimated 143,000 deaths a
year worldwide.
In view of the potential safety concerns on consumption of
the lead contaminated Maggi instant noodles, NAFDAC warns that Maggi instant
noodles produced by Nestle India should not be consumed.
Departmental stores, wholesalers and retailers should also
be proactive in ensuring that such products are brought to NAFDAC if they come
across any, and under no circumstances should such products be sold.
