Nestle India Ltd. said media reports in the South Asian country about the ash content in some products under its Maggi brand are “erroneous and misleading.”
The company, whose instant noodles were the subject of India’s biggest food quality crisis last year, responded to a Press Trust of India report that said authorities in the Uttar Pradesh state found the ash content in Maggi’s Masala variant is 85 percent higher than the permissible limit, citing district chief food safety officer Manoj Kumar.
