gattaca Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Can you shed some light on this? Nestle or Nestle India? Dont they come under same organization. If the main org is bad how can you expect the indian company be any good. They lack ethics. Its just business for them. http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/company-profiles/nestl%C3%A9-sa-corporate-crimes http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/nestle-california-bottled-water/

Texan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Maggie Noodles must be having an incredible market share in the instant noodles market. Some of the competitors are set to gain massively from this disaster for Maggie.
diga Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 ^ maggi has 2/3 of instant noodles market share in India

Not the govt but the company itself
rkt.india Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Had maggi yesterday. Just for the sake of it. I use Yippiee for a long time now, not maggi. :fishing:
BeautifulGame Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Weird this .Goa saying Maggi is fine UP and Delhi saying excess lead content GOI should just carry the test and clarify it .This seems an unney controversy either . Won't even be surprised if it is some conspiracy considering it's UP that first jumped on this issue
amiret Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I doubt the UP Govt is sincerely concerned about the health of it's people. In 2014 The Supreme Court "pulled up the UP government for not prosecuting people indulging in milk adulteration under the stringent provision and sought details of the pending cases on the issue in the state. " The Supreme Court ....gave the Centre a two-week ultimatum to specify whether an amendment will be carried out to make the offence (milk adulteration) punishable by life imprisonment. Terming the situation "very, very serious" the apex court said it would be foolish to go lightly on adulterators just because no grievous illness or death has been reported immediately after someone has drinks milk laced with white paint, caustic soda, detergent, shampoo, urea, starch and blotting paper. The poisoning in the body is gradual and once it happens people think they are afflicted with cancer and nobody blames milk. Are you waiting for them to add cyanide in milk? Only then instant death will be caused for you to take action," a Bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Vikramjit Sen asked the lawyer for Centre and states. "A proper amendment enhancing the punishment from present six months under the Food Safety and Standards Authority Act (FSSA) is necessary in the larger public interest so that such type of crimes could be curbed to a large extent," the court said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome/indianews/article-2569653/Supreme-Court-pushes-milk-adulterers-life-prison.html
Precambrian Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Politicians largely are looking for secret handouts by Nestle. Once they have them credited, you can see these cases automatically evaporating away. Esp ni states like kerala - where the graft is openly done.
Tiger80 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Can i ask why indian govt is allowing military to procure liquor which can be potentially harmful to the health of jawans? Britisher allowed Indian army to have Liquor and this tradition continued
Clarke Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I hope that was sarcasm. Otherwise you need to read up on the history on Nestle. Absolute scum organisation. What level of evil ? I'm a hippie so all corporations are evil ? The arm twisting rival types like Microsoft evil ? Or simply poisoning the people and their environment (BP, Exxon, Dow etc) type of evil ? I'm assuming you're suggesting the last one, do share their absolute scum behavior.
Gollum Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I generally take articles from Scroll with a pinch of salt but this one was eye opening. Maggi controversy: Millions of Indians face danger of lead poisoning ‒ from Ayurveda http://scroll.in/article/731849/maggi-controversy-millions-of-indians-face-danger-of-lead-poisoning-%E2%80%92-from-ayurveda
amiret Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 ^ "No wonder Indian kids have ten times more lead in their blood than American children. " Though the Scroll does not cite it's source , i believe they are referring to this : David Bellinger, a neurologist at Harvard School of Public Health, US, reflecting on latest study examining levels of lead in the blood of Delhi's children, by Veena Kalra former head of pediatric neurology at the AIIMS "Blood levels of Lead in Indian children six to 10-years-old are more than 10 times greater than pre-school children in the US. The terrifying conclusion : "One can anticipate that Lead is adversely affecting the cognitive function of a substantial portion of the child population in India, "
