New Delhi: After Maggi, quality testing was ordered Monday for noodles, pasta and macaroni brands of seven companies including Nestle, ITC and GlaxoSmithkline across the country to check for health hazards. Listing out the total 32 such brands including Maggi, Top Ramen, Wai Wai, Yummy and Foodles, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the central food safety regulator, also ordered immediate recall of all such instant food products which did not have any product approval and were being sold in the market in an “unauthorised and illegal” manner. In its order for quality testing by all states and Union Territories, FSSAI said “various test results on Maggi and some other similar products have raised serious health concerns” and therefore it was necessary to test other similar products.
