Some other products such as Kurkure and branded chips have also come under the scanner following the Maggi controversy.
“Several companies do not adhere to food safety standards in India. There should be continuous market surveillance for safety standards,” an official source said.
It was highly spreaded in social media and in other sections that Maggie,coke and Kurkure has high quantity of lead and plastic in their products. But indians kept ignoring them and treated these instant foods as part of their daily life.
