Excess lead found in noodles, UP to file case

Aligarh: After Maggi, the Uttar Pradesh Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has found excess lead in Yippee noodles of the domestic giant ITC Ltd and will soon file a case.

The FDA said the samples of Yippee noodles, seized from a local mall in Aligarh, have been found to contain lead ‘far in excess to the permissible limit.’

“The laboratory report for these samples, which were received here on Saturday, indicated that the lead content which should have been below 1 ppm was found to be 1.057 ppm”, the FDA said.
