Maggi noodles row: Case lodged against Nestle, 5 others
Barabanki: A case was lodged on Saturday against Nestle India in a Barabanki court over safety standards of its Maggi product, while actors Amitabh Bachhan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta have also been separately dragged to the court for promoting the ‘two-minute’ noodles brand.
While the case against Nestle India and five others was filed by the UP food regulator FSDA (Food Safety and Drug Administration), a local advocate filed a separate case against the three cine personalities.
“Following FSDA commissioner P.P. Singh’s permission to file a case against Nestle India, a case has been filed in the court of ACJM (Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate) here,” Barabanki Food Safety Officer V K Pandey said.
The case has been lodged against the company’s Nestle Nagal Kalan Industrial Area unit (Haroli, Una in HP), Delhi-based Nestle India Limited, an Easy Day outlet in Barabanki and the Delhi-based parent firm Easy Day, as also against and their FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) managers, Mohan Gupta and Shabab Alam, Pandey said.
The FSDA had found monosodium glutamate and lead in excess of the prescribed limit in Maggi samples tested by it. The FSDA had collected the samples from the Easy Day store in Barabanki and had sent the consignment for testing, which showed that the quantum of lead present was 17 times more than the stipulated limit, which is considered hazardous.
The Union Consumer Affairs Ministry has also asked the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to look into the matter while Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Friday that a class action suit can also be initiated in the matter if a complaint is lodged in this regard with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC).
The second case has been lodged by a local advocate in Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court against the cine stars for promoting Maggi noodles, saying they have been found to be harmful for public health.
There were no comments from the company.
Talking to newspersons, the advocate said he has lodged the case in the court of CJM against the three film stars who have claimed the instant noodles as healthy in TV promotions under sections 420, 272, 273 and 109.
He said these film stars have earned hefty sums by terming Maggi noodles as healthy in advertisements and alleged “this wrong publicity amounts to malafide intentions and playing with the health of the kids and young people of the country”.

Notice to Madhuri for endorsing Maggi
Madhuri Dixit has been asked to explain how Maggi is good for health and the basis of making the claims.
Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit seems to have landed in a soup for endorsing Maggi as the Food and Drug Administration, Haridwar, serving a notice to her on Friday on the claims made in the advertisement.
The notice seeks a report from the actor within 15 days on claims made in the advertisement regarding the nutrition value of the “2-minute noodles”, an official said.
Maggi recently came under the scanner after samples collected by the Food Safety and Drug Administration of Uttar Pradesh were reported to be containing more monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead than the permissible limits.
The authorities asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of the popular food product from the market in Uttar Pradesh recently.
Ms. Dixit has been asked to explain how Maggi is good for health and the basis of making the claims.
If the actor fails to respond to the notice within the stipulated time, a case could be registered against her, Food Security Officer Mahimanand Joshi said.

Maggi case: Bollywood actors face FIR
The court also asked the investigating authorities to arrest the accused, if it was required.
A local court in Bihar on Tuesday directed authorities to file a First Information Report (FIR) against brand ambassadors of Maggi noodles, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Preity Zinta, besides two officials of Nestle India, Mohan Gupta and Sabab Alam.
Maggi noodles samples have been found by authorities to contain non-essential taste enhancer MSG and high levels of lead.
However, the claim was disputed by the company.
The court also asked the investigating authorities to arrest the accused, if it was required.
While hearing a petition filed by Sudhir Kumar Ojha, a lawyer, on Monday, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Muzaffarpur district court, Ved Prakash Singh, had transferred the case to the court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM), Ramchandra Prasad.
The ACJM on Tuesday directed the local Kazi Mohammadpur police station to register an FIR against the five.
In his petition the complainant has claimed that he fell sick after consuming Maggi which he had purchased from a local shop at Lenin Chowk on May 30.
The case has been filed under IPC sections 270 (malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), 273 (sale of noxious food or drink), 276 (sale of drug as a different drug or preparation) and 420 (cheating and dishonesty).
The Delhi government on Tuesday claimed that 10 out of 13 Maggi noodles packets which were tested contained high quantities of lead. Food safety officers will be meeting the Delhi Health Minister and Nestle officials on Wednesday. The State government is looking at filing a complaint and taking action against the company.
The Kerala government has suspended the sale of Maggi noodles through the Supplyco retail outlets from Tuesday
