US curbs: Nestle hints at counterfeit Maggi
Caught in a regulatory mess, Nestle India said most of the Maggi products rejected by the US food regulator for import in January were not exported from India, even as it claimed that some of them were not even manufactured by it though they were found carrying labels of Nestle India as manufacturer.
Hinting at the possibility of counterfeiting, a Nestle spokesperson claimed, “We have checked the US FDA site and also find that some of the rejections are for products that are not manufactured by us in India, but the label states the manufacturer as Nestle India. Clearly, these are not our products and we have not been informed of any such rejection of our consignments.”
