Maggi Nahi Chahiye Mujhe Abhi
We all love Maggi noodles, don’t we? In fact
the noodles have been instrumental in satisfying our off time hunger pangs. Be it in picnics, hostels, travel to offbeat locations, or
just generally after getting back from play,
we have all savoured these noodles, bothering
little about what they actually contain.
It has been found that Maggi contains Lead and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG),
both of which are bad for our health. Lead is highly toxic and excessive presence of lead in Blood can lead to lead poisoning, which can lead to severe physical and mental damage in children. Mono Sodium Glutamate is a taste enhancer,
it overexcites your cells causing brain damage. Many countries, like the US permit the use of MSG to certain degrees, but it is banned in India.
A Maggi Packet clearly states that it does not contain Mono-sodium Glutamate.
In fact Nestle India, the company that makes Maggi, claims that the government pulled out a near expiry pack of Maggi and tested it. The company will investigate the matter and send fresh samples for testing.
