Major Violations of Indian Food Laws by M/S Nestle India Ltd.
(a) Presence of Lead detected in the product in excess of the maximum permissible levels of 2.5 ppm,
(b) Misleading food labelling information on the package reading “No added MSG”, and
(c) Launch of a non-standardised food product in the Indian market, viz. “Maggi Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker” without risk assessment and grant of product approval.
Viewpoint of Food Authority on Presence of Lead detected in the product in excess of the maximum permissible levels of 2.5 ppm:
The maggi samples were taken by the establishment of the Commissioner of Food Safety, UP and were tested by the CFL, Kolkata. The lab results found presence of lead at 17.2 ppm. The test results received from the GNCT, Delhi in respect of 13 samples drawn from different batches indicate the presence of Lead in excess of the maximum permissible level of 2.5 ppm in case of 10 out of the 13 samples tested (one of them being the product for which approval had not been taken). Similarly, a total of 40 samples were reported to have been drawn including the noodles of other brands. Having received the Test Reports in respect of 29 samples and it was found that the presence of Lead was in excess of the prescribed limits in 15 samples, the State of Gujarat has already issued a recall order.
Further, the results of Test samples drawn and tested in the state of Tamil Nadu also confirmed the presence of Lead in excess of the permissible limits, including in the Noodles of some other manufacturing companies. It was clear from the reports received from various states that there is overwhelming evidence of the said food products being unsafe and hazardous for human consumption. The maximum permissible level of Lead is 2.5 ppm as stated by the Nestle Company in its application dated 04.12.2012 which was submitted for the Product Approval for ‘Instant Noodles with Tastemaker’, of which Masala is one of the variants applied for. As per the Certificate of Analysis furnished by the Company with its application, the Lead was 0.0153 ppm vide report dated 17.10.2012.
Conclusion:
It was affirmed that the presence of Lead is in excess of the permissible safety limits of Indian Food Laws.
Why section 22 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 so important in the current Nestle India Limited’s “Maggi Instant Noodles with Tastemaker” Food Law Case.

"Food recall is the cornerstone of a robust food recall program in any food industry. It encompasses meticulous monitoring, swift communication, and decisive action. By identifying potential risks early, companies can prevent widespread consumer harm and safeguard their reputation.
The hold and release program for non-conforming products in the food industry is crucial for ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance. By temporarily halting distribution until thorough evaluation and resolution, it safeguards consumers from potential harm.

the importer or the distributor of the food.
Specifically, under Section 59 of the Ordinance an
authorised officer may examine or seize any food
which he considers to be unfit for human
consumption.
4. 4
Legislation
The Food Safety Ordinance (Cap. 612)

Environmental Hygiene to make a food safety

c) direct that any food supplied be recalled;

otherwise disposed of; or

the adequacy of actions taken by the food trader
concerned. After a recall is completed, the Food
and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD)
will make sure that the product is destroyed or
suitably improved.
The FEHD will make publicity about a recall
when it considers that the public need to be
alerted about a health hazard or that clarification
of the situation needs to be made to allay public
worries.
6. 6

FEHD may, depending on the available

also be initiated by reports appearing in
overseas bulletins and similar publications of
health authorities, or from information received
directly from such authorities.
11. 11
Initiation of a Recall
To minimize the risk that may arise, recalls are
usually carried out in the shortest time practicable.

press release, letter to the concerned parties,
paid advertisement in the media, making public
announcement and putting up posters in stores
for receiving the food concerned from
customers.

made available to deal with enquiries.
16. 16
Assessment of the Recall
The FEHD may assess the adequacy of the traders
action, including the following:

media;

prohibition of supply or import arrangement, such as convenient and
adequate locations for return of the food concerned;
d) the promptness in withdrawing the food concerned from shelves at retail
end and proper storage of food in locations which are inaccessible by the
customers pending return to warehouse of importers or distributors;
e) the promptness in returning the food withdrawn to the warehouse of
importers or distributors and the appropriate way of disposal;
f) whether proper record of the recalled food is kept by traders concerned;
and
g) the investigation into the cause of defect and the remedial action taken
(investigation report with improvement measures to be submitted to the
FEHD).
17. 17
Removal from shelves
Retailers should remove the relevant food from the
shelves immediately and store them in a place which is
inaccessible by the customers while pending return to
the importer or distributor concerned.
Retailers should keep a proper record of the quantity of
the withdrawn food for returning to the distributor. The
recalled food, with proper identification, should be stored
in a separate area away from other foods and with
proper labelling or marking to prevent accidental
delivery.
Manufacturers should store the food separately and
should not make them available for use in any other
processes.
18. 18
Product Recovery
Products may be recovered by return to supermarkets, return
via distribution chains or direct return from consumers.
The product is to be recovered to a central site, or in the case
of widely distributed product, to major recovery sites. The
recovered product must be stored in an area which is
separated from any other food product. Accurate records are
to be kept of the amount of recovered product and the batch
codes of the product recovered.
After recovery, products may be corrected or reprocessed
before release to the market if it is fit for human consumption.
Otherwise the product is to be destroyed.
19. 19
Follow-up Action
The trader concerned should provide a progress
report at regular interval at the request of the
FEHD. After the food recall exercise, the trader
should submit a final report within a specified
time frame as determined by the FEHD taking
into account complexity of the case.
The report helps to assess the effectiveness of
the recall. Unless satisfactory reports are
received, the FEHD may consider taking further
action, e.g. stepped-up inspection, extension of
recall action or making a food safety order.
20. 20
Follow-up Action
The reports should contain essential information
such as:
a) the circumstances leading to the recall;
b) the action taken by the trader including details of any
publicity;
c) the extent of distribution of the relevant batch in Hong Kong
and overseas;
d) the result of the recall (quantity of stock returned,
outstanding, etc.);
e) the method of disposal or otherwise record of destruction
for returned food; and
f) the investigation report on cause of defects and the action
proposed to be implemented in future to prevent a
recurrence of the problem.
21. 21
Follow-up Action
To be effective, recall notification must reach as
far as the product has been distributed. The
effectiveness of the recall is assessed upon the
amount of product returned as a percentage of
the amount of product which left the
manufacturer while taking into account the retail
turnover of that product.
22. 22
Conclusion
Worldwide, cooperation between the food traders and
the regulatory authority has proven over the years to be
the quickest and most reliable method to remove
potentially dangerous products from the market.
These guidelines outline the procedures which would
enhance efficiency and transparency in the recall of food
products. The implementation of such guidelines will
hopefully minimize the loss inflicted on the traders and
the community at large.
