After Maggi, Nestle pasta fails lead test
Mau (UP), November 27
After Maggi noodles, Nestle's pasta has now landed in trouble as its samples, tested at a state-owned food testing laboratory, were found to be carrying lead beyond permissible limits, a state government official said today.
Pasta samples collected from Nestle distributor — Sriji Traders — on June 10 were sent to a government food testing laboratory in Lucknow, said Arvind Yadav, Designated Officer at Food and Drug Administration Mau.
“After Maggi, the sample of macroni pasta was taken from Mau and sent to National Food Analysis Laboratory, Lucknow, in which lead was found to be much more than the permissible limit,” Yadav said. — PTI
