It is very important to talk about these things in our contemporary world.Nandininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-23901966345200109202015-06-13T10:29:56.779+05:302015-06-13T10:29:56.779+05:30Great article and the consumer in me agrees with y...Great article and the consumer in me agrees with you. Prior to college the last time I had Maggi was when I was 8 years old and fell sick for the next 4 days. To be fair I gorged on a lot of junk food that day (including raw cake dough). Somehow I always blamed Maggi for that and always looked at it in disgust thereafter. Until, of course when I went to college and the closest thing to home food was Maggi.<br /><br />As a lawyer though I am extremely offended by the way people are trying the case in the media. Our food standards and testing equipment are far below the internationally accepted norms but when they scream wolf the whole nation panics. Most states in the country who have tested Maggi after the initial outburst have found it to be edible (though why one would choose to eat it is another question entirely). Recently Singapore found it safe to eat. But still the states continue to ban it feeding into the public frenzy. Either the FSSAI are way ahead of other international / private testing agencies, or they are just groping in the dark.<br /><br />I may be going completely off topic from your post (for which I apologize) but if the FSSAI wishes to improve its credibility and is genuinely worried about food safety it should stop talking to the press before it is absolutely certain and second and most important - Be absolutely certain when it comes to such sensitive topics. <br /><br />Apologies for a rant so long. It was supposed to be a 2 minute read only! :).Sivanoreply@blogger.com
