UP district administration slaps fine on Nestle India

29 Nov 2017 Evaluate

The district administration in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur has slapped a fine on Nestle India and its distributors after popular noodles brand Maggi allegedly failed to pass a lab test. The district administration had imposed a fine of Rs 45 lakh on the company, Rs 15 lakh on its three distributors and Rs 11 lakh on its two sellers.

The district authorities had collected the samples last year in November and sent them for lab test, which had found ash content above the permissible limits of human consumption. The company, however, maintained that it’s a case of application of incorrect standards.

Nestle India is a subsidiary of Nestle S.A. of Switzerland, a vibrant company that provides consumers in India with products of global standards.
