Nestle India on Friday stated that it was not aware of any lead analysis reports for its pasta product “Pazzta”.
The statement came after few media reports emerged on Friday stating that Nestlé’s pasta product had run into trouble with the Uttar Pradesh FDA on lead content in samples collected from Mau, a town in the State.
“We are not aware of any analysis reports for Pazzta supposedly picked up from Sriji Traders. The Pazzta manufactured by us is 100 per cent safe and there is absolutely no concern on lead,” the statement said. It added that “we need to see the contents of reports and also need to confirm whether these supposed tests have been conducted at FSSAI Notified and NABL accredited laboratory that has the expertise and is certified for testing lead under the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA)”.
