NEW DELHI: FMCG major Nestle may face more action by theUP Food Safety and Drug Administration, which is testing more batches of Maggi after ordering recall of a batch of about 2 lakh packs of the instant noodles due to higher than permitted levels of lead and a food additive.

The UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles “which were manufactured in February 2014” after it found high levels of added monosodium glutamate (MSG), a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

“As a precautionary measure, the UP FDA has picked up samples of three-four more batches in April this year for testing after the previous report came. The lab test results of those batches are still awaited,” Barbanki district food officer VK Pandey told PTI.
