Maggi row: Food regulator widens probe, orders testing of more noodle brands

Bringing more food products under its scanner, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Monday ordered testing of various noodles, pasta and macaroni brands, including Top Ramen, Foodles and Wai Wai, manufactured by seven companies to check compliance of norms in the wake of Maggi controversy.

The food regulator had recently banned all variants of Nestle India’s Maggi noodles, terming them as “unsafe and hazardous” for human consumption.
