Maggi ban was required, lazy mothers feed their children with it: BJP MLA

Indore, June 7 (IBNS): Sparking a new row in the ongoing Maggi Noodle controversy, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Indore in Madhya Pradesh Usha Thakur has said that mothers across the country have gone lazy and that's why they feed their children instant noodles.
This comes after Maggi has been banned in 13 states after it allegedly violated food safety standards.
 
Said Usha Thakur, "I think it is required to ban Maggi. The new generation mothers are lazy, hence feed their children Maggi."
 
Earlier, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had ordered recall of nine variants of the instant noodles from the market and asked the company to stop their production, import and sale with immediate effect.
 
FSSAI had also said that Nestle launched Maggi Oats Masala Noodles without any product approval and undertaking risk, safety assessment.
 
However,  Nestle's global CEO Paul Bulcke on Friday claimed that the snack is safe for consumption and it will be back again.
 
His  assertion came after Nestle had decided to withdraw the product following country-wide scrutiny for high lead content and mono-sodium glutamate or MSG, a taste enhancer.
