The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has ordered CG Group India, the manufacturer of instant noodles brand Wai Wai, to cease production of its ‘veg bhujia namkeen’. This directive comes after an inspection revealed violations of food safety regulations on Thursday.
Rajit Punhani, FSSAI CEO, on Thursday stressed on providing the right information to consumers about food products. “FSSAI has initiated enforcement action against M/s CG Foods India Pvt. Ltd. following food safety violations. FSSAI remains committed to ensuring safe food and upholding food safety standards through strict enforcement,” the post read.
“The inspection revealed several hygiene and documentation deficiencies, including inadequate pest-control records and other deficiencies relating to food hygiene and safety,” it said. Addressing a health conference in Delhi, Punhani highlighted the authority’s efforts to combine food-safety regulation with consumer education, according to news agency PTI.
