New Delhi: Despite the stand taken by the food safety watchdog, Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Thursday said he was hopeful that Nestle's Maggi will be back on the shelves soon, drawing comfort from favourable test reports for the top instant noodles brand from some accredited laboratories.


"The latest tests conducted by Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) has found Maggi safe. I have a gut feeling it will return to retail shelves soon," Paswan said of the margins of a conference on fast moving consumer goods, hosted by Assocham here.


Stating that the government does not want to hurt investment flow after the Maggi row , Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Thursday said the Prime Minister has asked not to make unnecessary noise over issues such as Maggi controversy till all facts come to light.


He was alluding to the test reports from the Mysore facility of the lab, which gave the report based on the samples sent to it by the Goa food safety department. The minister's comments also come against the backdrop of the food safety regulator declining to take note of the latest report. Paswan made it clear that consumer interest will be paramount while deciding on the matter pertaining to ban against Maggi.
