The whole Maggi controversy with lead content beyond permissible limits got me thinking, and I wanted to know if we are exposed to lead in any other form. Here are a few everyday things that may contain lead.
The 2-minute Maggi Masala noodles are in the news for the past few days. And everyone on earth is still figuring out what to do with their stash of Maggi noodles. Have been eating Maggi all your life? Is it healthy? What will happen to my child, who is eating Maggi every day? Are you worried about the Maggi controversy? Here s the latest information on Maggi.
Food and Drug Administration in Maharashtra today said it will verify the claims about presence of lead in Maggi noodles before taking a decision on recalling the product.
FDA in UP had claimed levels of lead and monosodium glutamate (MSG) in a batch of ready-to-cook noodles were high, following which the set was recalled from the market in the state. 'We have collected samples of the product from different parts of the state such as Pune, Nagpur and Mumbai and have sent them to our laboratory for tests,' Dr Harshdeep Kamble, state FDA commissioner, told reporters here. 'The results will come in a few days, after which we will decide if there is a need to take action,' the senior IAS official said.
