Nestle boss: Maggi noodles testing 'highly unreliable'

(BBC) The new boss of Nestle India has told the BBC that tests which showed Maggi noodles had lead in them were "highly unreliable".

Nestle had to destroy 400 million packets of Maggi products and stop production for five months after local regulators said that some packets of noodles had unsafe levels of lead.

Nestle India chief executive Suresh Narayanan said the labs could have lacked the right equipment.

The product recall cost Nestle $67m.

So he would have had them tested independently , surely he could show us the test results that prove them wrong.

What does this mean for the Mama's and Yumyum's here in Thailand if the nestle ones have lead in them. It's not like there is reliable food testing in Thailand....

Maybe they used the Volkswagen software for testing

Nestles 2014 gross income 44.06 BILLION... do the math. That's .1522%. Like paying a 200 baht fine to BiB for no helmet.

Where did the 400 million plastic wrappers end up?

I am struggling to think of a more disgusting, immoral amoral food company than Nestle. Their Chairman, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, is quoted as saying that declaring water a right is 'extreme', and asserts that water is a foodstuff best valued and distributed by the free market.

They probably donated the noodles to Biafra.

And then made them pay through the nose for the water to reconstitute their chemical muck.
