Nestle India is planning to launch more variants of Maggi Noodles such as oat noodles and cup noodles in the next three-four months time.
Nestle India CMD Suresh Narayanan was quoted by the Economic Times as saying: "We will launch other variants of Maggi noodles such as oats noodles, aata noodles and cup noodles in three to four months."
The Swiss food company relaunched Maggi masala noodles on 9 November across India, approximately five months after it was slapped with a ban by the FSSAI due to excessive presence of lead in a few samples that were tested.
Last week, India's Supreme Court had stayed the class suit proceedings initiated by the government before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) against Nestle India.
Supreme Court ordered for fresh testing to be conducted on Maggi samples in the government-accredited laboratory in Mysore and not in Chennai as was previously directed by the Commission, reported The Times of India.
The court has ordered that all the lab reports must be submitted to it.
The judicial bench was quoted by the Times of India as saying: "It is directed that the local commissioner, appointed by NCDRC, shall send samples earlier collected by him to the Mysore laboratory for tests. The test reports, including earlier ones, shall be produced before this court. NCDRC shall not proceed in the case."
The case will be heard on 13 January.
