The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is testing <keyword id="6369404" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Maggi">Maggi</keyword> samples collected from various states after Uttar Pradesh’s food authority found Mono Sodium Glutamate (MSG) and access lead in the two-minute noodles. 
 
The Indian Government said the reports will be out within next three days and if the reports turn out to be negative, brand ambassadors of Maggi would be liable for action in case advertisements are found to be misleading. 
 
Additional Secretary, Consumer Affairs, G Gurucharan said that FSSAI had taken samples from all states. “Testings are being done. Some reports are expected today and within 2-3 days we will get complete reports,” he said. 
 
He added that in case of any violation, FSSAI would initiate action. 
 
"FSSAI has taken up the case, it will take action. We have already written to the FSSAI," said Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. 
Paswan also said that no complaints from consumers were received yet. 
 
Last week a case was registered against Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, asking her to explain the nutritional value in Maggi. 
 
A huge furore broke out on April 30 when the food authorities in Lucknow asked Nestle to recall one batch of Maggi noodles after tests showed it contained seven times higher levels of lead than permissible and traces of Mono Sodium Glutamate (MSG) and high amounts of lead, more than the permissible limits that could cause harm to organs in our body. 
 
Nestle defended it saying, the batch was manufactured in February 2014 and had reached the best-before date in November. One batch contains about 200,000 packs. As per a news report in The Economic Times the company has said its practice is to collect stock near the expiry date from distributors and retailers. 
 
The company told the ET, it doesn't add MSG to Maggi noodles sold in India and this is stated on the product. "However, we use hydrolysed groundnut protein, onion powder and wheat flour to make Maggi noodles sold in India, which all contain glutamate. We believe that the authorities' tests may have detected glutamate, which occurs naturally in many foods," the company said.

New measures include more testing, instituting high-tech food tracking inside restaurants, and procedures such as cutting, washing, and testing tomatoes at central commissaries to ensure cleanliness. A few years in the future, Chipotle may raise prices to invest in food safety, but reports it does not plan to do so before 2017.

Chipotle has good news for customers after the e. Coli scare

Food safety has suddenly sparked much furore among the government, media and consumers. Thanks to Maggi containing lead above standard norms, government is instrumenting various measures to keep food products under check. However, scrutinizing imported food products being a task and thereby delaying delivery of products to the retail stores, India has decided to do away with the practice of putting each imported food consignment through lab checks and switch to the international norm of random and risk-based inspections. 
 
As per a news report in <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/food/government-to-switch-to-international-norm-of-random-and-risk-based-inspections-of-imported-food/articleshow/47793706.cms" target="_BLANK￿￿￿￿">The Economic Times</a>, the Prime Minister's Office and the cabin secretariat have held discussions on the matter with the ministries and departments concerned. 
 
Under the prevailing mechanism, there have been instances of consignments of Swiss chocolates and other popular food products languishing at Indian ports for days. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the apex indirect taxes body, also wants checks by various agencies such as the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, plant quarantine, animal quarantine, Drug Controller of India and wildlife authorities to be crunched and specified so that the industry knows beforehand the time limit required for clearance of any import consignment. 
 
"The time frame will have to be brought down substantially," an official told the ET. All departments have been told to fix the stipulated time for testing as 12 hours plus the actual time taken for testing, the official said. This will serve as the defined standard operating procedure for clearance of cargo, an exercise that is being undertaken for the first time as the country looks to improve its ranking on the World Bank's doing business index. 
 
At present, clearance of import consignments containing food items could take more than 10-15 days depending on the port. Some ports even lack well-equipped labs, leading to further delays. 
 
The CBEC has created a national level customs clearance facilitation committee as also local committees at local ports, chaired by customs chief commissioner having representatives from these organisations as members, for immediate redressal of any issue that crops up during clearance. 
 
What if the consignment fails safety test? 
 
The national food safety regulator has laid down detailed recall procedures for food companies and said it will be mandatory for every firm to have a detailed recall plan ready and to comply with recall orders, confirms another news report by <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/food/national-food-safety-regulator-lays-down-stringent-recall-procedures-for-food-companies/articleshow/47793661.cms" target="_BLANK￿￿￿￿">The Economic Times</a>. If any company refuses to act on a recall order, then the concerned food authorities can take appropriate action, the Food Safety &amp; Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has written to food business operators. 
 
"The food business operator shall be liable for violation (of a recall order)," said the note, which has sought suggestions and comments from companies. ET has reviewed a copy of the letter. 
 
"A recall plan must be available in writing and shall be made available to the food authority on request. It shall also be a part of the annual audit of the food business," said the regulator that has ordered a number of recalls recently, including that of the popular instant noodles brand Maggi. 
 
However, some industry insiders feel the regulator is acting a bit too hastily. "Before talking about recall procedures, the regulator should detail its own testing protocols and sample sizes, and allow for a suitable defence from the company," the CEO of a leading foods firm told the financial daily on condition of anonymity. 
 
"Export oriented units also need to have a recall plan in place as there may be food products that can be directed to local consumers in India," it said, adding that food imported into the country will be checked by port authorities.

India: No country for unsafe food

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">NBC Today ShowChipotle CEO Steve Ells.</div></div></div>Chipotle founder and co-CEO Steve Ells went on national television on Thursday to apologize to Americans for the E. coli outbreak linked to his restaurants."This was a very unfortunate incident and I'm deeply sorry that this happened," Ells said on NBC's Today Show. "But the procedures we're putting in place today are so above industry norms that we are going to be the safest place to eat."The outbreak linked to Chipotle has expanded to nine states, with 47 of the 52 people sickened having reported eating at the chain. Ells said it's a "really tough time" for Chipotle.Chipotle's stock price has plunged more than 20% since the outbreak was first reported.Sales have also declined. Chipotle has warned that its same-store sales could fall for the first time in company history this quarter. The company is expecting a decline of between 8% and 11%.After weeks of investigation, health officials still haven't found the source of the outbreak. "We have closed our restaurants out of an abundance of caution and tested all the ingredients, surfaces -thousands and thousands of tests - and they call came back negative for E. coli," Ells said.He said there's a silver lining to the outbreak, however, because it has forced Chipotle to reassess and improve its food safety regulations. A team of epidemiologists and food safety experts has investigated the delivery, handling, cooking, and serving of all 64 of Chipotle's ingredients, and developed better food safety standards for the chain going forward."It has caused us to put in practices... that will put us 10 to 15 years ahead of industry norms and I believe this will be the safest restaurants to eat at," Ells said. When asked whether Chipotle would be able to recover financially from the outbreak, Ells said, "Well certainly but that's not what we're thinking about now we're thinking about the safety and quality of our ingredients."Analysts expect same-store sales to continue declining through at least June 2016. The slide could extend even longer, if history is any indication.A similar outbreak of E. coli illnesses linked to Taco Bell restaurants in 2006 sent same-store sales into negative territory for five straight quarters, <a href="http://qz.com/567567/taco-bells-2006-e-coli-outbreak-is-a-scary-history-lesson-for-chipotle/">Quartz reports</a>. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/shanghai-mall-china-shopping-retail-military-pentagon-defense-2015-11">China built a mall that looks exactly like the Pentagon</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="5iY2V4eDoJO0bhWEum2zSyqSi_JUOL1D" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

After the Maggie row, the food safety debate has become intense both in India and abroad. More than 2,100 import batches of ‘made in India’ products across food, personal care and health supplement categories were rejected by the US food and drug regulator in the past one year. Most of the products were by leading companies such as <keyword id="6365619" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hindustan-UniLever">Hindustan Unilever</keyword>, Britannia, <keyword id="6356830" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nestle-India">Nestle India</keyword>, Haldiram, Heinz India and MTR Foods. 
 
 The reasons for rejection vary from minor labelling issues to products manufactured in unhygienic conditions to pesticides being above permissible limits, according to data put out by the <keyword id="6356255" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="US-Food-and-Drug-Administration">US Food and Drug Administration</keyword> (USFDA) on its website. 
 
Several companies argued that the bulk of products were shipped without their knowledge by unauthorised third-party traders. 
 
 "Instances of product rejections could be either due to improper storage and distribution done by unauthorised exporters. In case our official export products are rejected, we always re-test them at FDA-approved labs," said AK Tyagi, director at <keyword id="2897684" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Haldiram-Manufacturing-Ltd-">Haldiram Manufacturing Ltd.</keyword> Tyagi added that the US FDA regularly inspected its facilities in India and its products conform to global safety norms. 
 
RS Sodhi, managing director of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation, the maker of Amul dairy products, said while quality standards of Indian packaged food products were based on global norms, rejection of batches was an important issue which needed to be addressed. 
 
Britannia said it exports to the US only out of USFDA-registered factories in India and meets all product and labelling standards. The products that were rejected by the USFDA were not shipped directly by the company. 
 
Similarly, both Hindustan Unilever and Nestle India said the products that were banned were not exported by them. 
 "We wish to clarify that in 2015, HUL has not received any refusal from USFDA for any of the products that it exports to the US market through its authorised distributor which is registered with the USFDA. We wish to further clarify that the <keyword id="6354298" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="stocks">stocks</keyword> refused import into the US by USFDA in 2015 have not been exported by HUL,” said a company spokesman. 
 
A Nestle spokesman said the company had checked the FDA site and some of the batches are described as coming from factories that do not produce products for export to the US. 
 
 "This means that the batches were so called 'grey market' exports - exports which were not organised or controlled by the company but by other individuals or entities. This explains why the batches were rejected," he said At times, companies are not even aware that their products have been rejected. "As a responsible company, we will always cooperate with any query should it come in," said a <keyword id="2200852" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mondelez-India">Mondelez India</keyword> spokesperson. 
 
 
After the Maggie row, The USFDA, too, has begun testing of samples of Maggi noodles manufactured in India and sourced by retailers in America from third-party importers 
 
Instances of rejection have marred India’s food industry’s image previously too. Just last month, the USFDA rejected 53 Haldiram-made consignments due to presence of pesticide in fried snacks, potato snacks and sweets, claiming they were either not adequately processed or manufactured, or packaged in insanitary conditions. 
 
 
In April this year, Mondelez India's batch containing chocolate candy bar with nuts and fruits was rejected since "the article appears to have been manufactured, processed, or packed under insanitary conditions", said a statement on the FDA website. 
 
Also, one might remember that in January, it had rejected instant noodles manufactured in Nestle's Moga factory since the packaging label didn't outline all ingredients.

ITC has decided to remove the "no added MSG" disclaimer from Yipee noodles under FSSAI’s direction. 
 The <keyword id="6376343" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Food-Safety-and-Standards-Authority-of-India">Food Safety and Standards Authority of India</keyword> (FSSAI), in connection with noodles of another brand, had held that such statement of having no MSG was "inappropriate", ITC said in a statement. 
 
"Therefore, ITC is voluntarily taking steps to remove the phrase 'no added MSG' from its labels in its new batches of packaging and consumers should ignore this on the current packaging. ITC would like to once again assure consumers that MSG is not added to Sunfeast YiPPee! Noodles," ITC said in the statement. 
 
It added: "In recent weeks, there has been some confusion about the manner of declaration of MSG in packaged food items". 
 
"Under the FSS Act, if a manufacturer adds MSG to the product, the quantum of MSG so added needs to be declared. Since no MSG is added in Yippee noodles, the packages carried a statement to that effect, i.e., "contains no added MSG," it added. 
 
The food regulator has ordered testing of several noodles, pasta and macaroni brands that includes Top Ramen, Foodles and Wai Wai to check if they comply with the food security norms. 
 
Nestle India, ITC, Indo Nissin Food Ltd, GSK Consumer Healthcare, CG Foods India, Ruchi International and AA Nutrition Ltd’s products are being tested under direction from FSSAI.

A <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=food+authority" target="_BLANK￿￿￿￿">district food safety official</a> has reportedly said that samples of <keyword id="6356830" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nestle-India">Nestle India</keyword>’s Maggi noodles collected from Barabanki district in February were found sub-standard and contained more ash content. 
 
The official claimed that tests conducted by a Lucknow-based state-owned lab found ash content in Maggi Masala to be 1.85 per cent, which is higher than the permissible limit of 1 per cent. 
 
However, Nestle has dismissed such claims. 
 
“Maggi noodles is 100 per cent safe for consumption. It is apparent from media reports that standards for 'macaroni products' are being applied for 'instant noodles with seasoning' which is erroneous and misleading,” said the company in a statement. 
 
"We categorically reiterate that testing of instant noodles against norms set for macaroni products will reflect in incorrect results and wrong interpretations. The quality and safety of our products are non-negotiable priorities for us," Nestle said in the statement.

New Delhi, Apr 22 () The Indian Plumbing Skills Council (IPSC) has prepared a database of over 900 plumbers who are ready to provide their services during the lockdown. The IPSC has also requested its affiliated training partners to conduct distribution drives for providing food and essential supplies to the needy and extended necessary support for the same. Over 70 training centres have also been nominated for conversion into food distribution/isolation centres. Keeping in mind the need for stringent health and safety norms, the IPSC has also drafted guidelines for the plumbing workforce to be observed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it stated. The guidelines were put together by a special IPSC technical task force headed by eminent leaders and experts from the Indian plumbing fraternity. Some key highlights of the advisory include following social distancing; disinfecting tools, equipment, touch points; prefer cashless transaction; disposing used material; educating consumers for self-help in crisis; and maintaining a log for backtracking in case needed. Mahendra Nath Pandey, minister for skill development and entrepreneurship, said, "The IPSC is constantly getting request from volunteers to contribute through their service to the nation, so this number of 900 will keep increasing." The plumbing sector in India is highly unorganised and dependent on contractual and migratory workforce. RSN ABMABM

(Eds: Recasting overnight story with additional quotes ) New Delhi, Apr 17 () Quick Service Restaurant chains such as Pizza Hut, Domino's Pizza, McDonald's and Subway have assured customers of safety of their products amid the COVID-19 crisis, stating that they are taking precautions at stores as mandated by the authorities. These measures include stringent hygiene norms such as sanitisation of even the "delivery bikes, boxes and hot bags", they said. Besides checking temperatures, they are mandating staff to wash hands at regular interval, change gloves, and ensure double wrapping of the food products. "The health and safety of our staff and consumers is of paramount importance and we are implementing extra strict measures to ensure their well-being while ensuring delivery of our food," said a Taco Bell India spokesperson. "We ensure that every rider sanitizes his hands before picking up the food parcel, where all orders are 'double – packed'; wrapped in individual packets followed by an outer bag to ensure contactless transit of the order. The bag is secured with tamper proof tape where our customers are advised not to accept it if seal is damaged," he said. McDonald's has increased handwashing frequency of the restaurant staff and delivery riders are also mandated to use hand sanitizers before they pick up the sealed orders. "To ensure that people are fit to work, we measure and record the temperature of all staff before they begin work, as well as of the delivery riders before they pick up the sealed delivery order from our restaurant. Anyone with fever or flu-like symptoms is being asked to return/stay at home and seek medical assistance," said McDonald's India (North and East). According to McDonald's, its "riders are also asked to sanitize their delivery bags," and has increased sanitation of frequently touched surfaces with "hospital-grade disinfectant." Subway said it is "stringently" reinforcing its existing health and food safety protocols with its restaurant teams and is adhering to guidelines issued by State regulators. "Any employee at our restaurants exhibiting flu-like symptoms is told to seek medical attention and to not report to work," said Subway Head of Marketing – South Asia Shuchi Monga. Besides carrying out hourly restaurant sanitation, Subway is ensuring its "sandwich artists wear new gloves with every new order" and ensure that they regularly wash hands. Domino's Pizza also said it is adhering to all possible precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees and customers. "All employees in the stores are being temperature screened every day and they follow a mandatory hourly hand wash protocol for a minimum of 20 seconds," it said. Besides deep sanitizing its restaurants, Domino's Pizza is also sanitizing its "delivery bikes, boxes and pizza hot bags every 4 hours". "We are deep sanitizing our restaurants as well as delivery bikes, boxes and pizza hot bags every 4 hours. In addition, we have moved all our deliveries to Zero Contact Delivery thereby avoiding any physical contact with the customer. Additionally, all our Safe Delivery Experts are wearing gloves and masks to ensure the safety of our customers," it said. Pizza Hut said it is adhering to all WHO-recommended employee safety and food hygiene protocols such as "thermal screening, mandatory use of face masks and gloves, thorough cleaning of FSSAI approved ingredients, and disinfecting all kitchen surfaces, food packing boxes, delivery bags and bikes". "We are also following an end-to-end Contactless process, which ensures that cooked food is packed right from the oven into disinfected boxes without human touch and the delivery executive maintains a safe distance at all times from the customer," it said. According to reports, over 70 people were quarantined on Thursday after a pizza delivery agent tested positive for coronavirus in south Delhi. The authorities are considering clinical screening of all food delivery personnel in the area to trace the contacts and prevent further spread. The 19-year-old tested positive for the virus on April 14. Over 72 people whom he delivered pizza have been put under home quarantine. India is under a lockdown till May 3 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. According to the latest updates from the Health Ministry, number of cases from Covid-19 has climbed to 13,387 and death toll risen to 437 in the country. KRH RKL ANUANU
