The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) order banning the production and distribution of nine variants of Maggi seems to be having a major impact on the investor sentiment in the country.
According to government sources, several top leaders are not in favour of imposing bans on food products. They have, however, been asked not to speak out of turn on the issue of the Nestle product, which is under scanner over presence of lead and MSG.
Meanwhile, the food safety regulator has issued a nationwide alert, asking all the states to keep a strict watch on milk, edible oils and packaged drinking water.
FSSAI has asked food commissioners to pick up random samples and test the products.
Several packaged food products, including instant noodles, pasta and macaroni have already come under stringent scrutiny of the FSSAI in the past one month.
