Killer MAGGI Noodles ?


The Supreme Court of India on Thursday lifted a stay on criminal proceedings against Nestle over the alleged presence of lead and MSG or monosodium glutamate in popular noodles. The apex court had allowed the case against Nestle to reopen after the Swiss food giant had admitted the presence of toxic ingredients in its noodles during a court hearing.

Reportedly, Nestle's lawyers have admitted that toxic elements like lead and MSG are found in its sample tests conducted by CFTRI (Central Food Technological Research Institute), Mysuru. However, the company has argued that the lead was within the permissible limit. Now, let’s take a look at how these toxic elements - such as lead and MSG - can affect the human body.


Effects of lead and MSG on health

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems, including your liver and kidneys in particular. It is especially harmful to infant and pregnant women as it can cause damage to the central nervous system in children. Since lead is a heavy metal it can get stored in the teeth and bones, where it accumulates over time. In pregnant women, prolonged exposure to lead can result in miscarriage, prematurity, low birth weight, etc.

MSG, short for Monosodium glutamate, is an amino acid found in your body and most foods. It is a flavour enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats. When consumed in excess, it can cause several health issues, including a headache, nausea, sweating, weakness, chest pain, tingling or burning in the face as well as neck and other areas. It is claimed that MSG can cause asthma and even brain damage.

MSG may cause adverse symptoms in some people, including a condition called Chinese restaurant syndrome or MSG symptom complex. However, there is no definitive evidence that MSG is solely responsible for causing these symptoms. Moreover, several official sources, such as the FDA, classified MSG as a food ingredient that's ‘generally recognized as safe.’ However, the use of MSG remains to be controversial.

....Respondents



PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.


To ,

Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion

Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the

Petitioner above named.


MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :

1. Facts of the case:

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for

power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt public servants.

2. Eventhough certain food products are banned & certain medicines are banned in developed nations , still they are permitted to be manufactured & sold in india.

3. Eventhough certain food products & medicines are manufactured within stipulated limits of ingredients in developed nations , the multinational companies cross those limits in india.


2. Question(s) of Law:

Are the lives of millions of Indians cheaper , dispensable ? Are the lives of Indians cheaper than the lives of white skinned people in developed nations.


3. Grounds:

Requests for equitable justice , protection of indian’s lives & prosecution of guilty public servants who permitted manufacturers / sellers of killer noodles , killer colas & killer medicines.


4. Averment:

Multinational companies , private companies in their greed for money are violating norms by established international bodies and making money by slowly killing people , by their fake food products & fake medicines. Our own corrupt central government & state government public servants are giving licenses , clearances to those companies to carry on their illegal businesses. Who will bear the cost of loss of lives , damages to health of gullible public , hapless Indians ?


Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : “writ of Mandamus” and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions.


The Petitioner has sent many letters / appeals / petitions to supreme court of india & other courts through e-mail , DARPG website & through regular mail requesting them to consider those as PILs. But none of

them were admitted , even acknowledgement for receipts were not given. See How duty conscious ,our judges are & see how our judges are sensitive towards life , liberty of citizens , commonmen & see how

careless our judges are towards anti national crimes , crimes worth crores of rupees. That the present petitioner has not filed any other petition (which are admitted by courts) in any High Court or the Supreme Court of India on the subject matter of the present petition.


PRAYER:

In the above premises, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased:

(i) Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : “writ of Mandamus” and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases

to perform their duties & to answer the questions.

(ii) to pass such other orders and further orders as may be deemed necessary on the facts and in the circumstances of the case.


FOR WHICH ACT OF KINDNESS, THE PETITIONER SHALL BE DUTY BOUND, EVER PRAY.

Government officials murdering innocents in league with greedy industrialists

In india, & many other 3rd world countries , the larger corporations , MNCs & industry lobby isliterally running the governments. They are grossly abusing human rights of people. Hereby, HRW calls upon GOI to rein in those corporations.

It is not the first time that , the harmful effects of colas – food beverages are made public. The government is aiding the cola companies in covering-up their crimes , in hiding harmful ingradients of their products in the name of trade secrets. The government is yet to enact a new food legislation making it mandatory for all manufacturers of food items to specifgically mention the type & quantity of ingradients on each food product. Even , under the present food Act itself the government officials can ban the harmful colas & other products in the interest of public health & lives. Then how will they get kickbacks ?


The cola companies are so cunning & ruthless that they have used muscle power – rowdies , corrupt police personnel & assaulted harmless peaceful protestors. The cola companies have purchased justice previously in kerala & got favourable judgement. Due to presence of cola companies , under water table has depleted in surrounding villages. The farmers are unable to grow their crops & are committing suicides. One of the senior executive of a cola company – BEJOIS , MADE MURDER THREATS , FIX-UPS IN FALSE CASES TO EDITOR OF HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH'S and even made false complaint to police , but repeatedly failed to turn-up for enquiry fearing that truth will come out. The police closed the case subsequently.


In India , many medicines / drugs manufacturing companies are silently murdering thousands of innocent patients. Some of these companies are manufacturing counterfeit drugs of popular brands. Some MNCs , big drug companies are in cheating business , they are just filling chalk powder in tablets where as on the outer cover they mention ingradients & quantities of it which are not at all their in the product. The patients who are taking these chalk powder tablets , hoping that they will get cured of diseases are dying due to lack of proper medication. These greedy , cheating drug companies are also exporting these counterfeit drugs to many third world countries like Nigeria. The drugs controller of Nigeria has caught hold of evidences about these illegal drugs & their import from India. These companies with the aid of mafia even tried to finish her off. The GOI is yet to take action on her complaint. Silence of GOI bought for a price by drug companies.


Just a few years back , there was a programme called "bad medicine" on BBC channel , where in the drugs controller for nigeria proved that 95% of drugs in nigeria are fake & 80% of them are being exported from india. These indian fake medicines are killing hundreds of innocents in nigeria & she is crusading to control to control it. She has survived murder attempts by the pharma drugs mafia linked to india. She came over to india along with BBC correspondent & under- cover they went to greedy industrialists. The said industrialists- FAKE SPECIALISTS boasted how they fake the holograms , labels of big MNCs , how they add chalk powder , paracetamol to all tablets , how they gifted imported car to a chief minister in return for protecting their crimes fake businesses , etc. At the end, the drugs controller for india , refused to give an interview, EVEN TO MEET the BBC correspondent, fearing that all his beans will spill out.


just few years back in karnataka, honourable lokayukta justice N.Venkatachala raided certain pharmaceutical companies & drugs control department officials and unearthed a huge scam of Rs.200 crore of fake medicines. However the government didn't take any action as politicians were also part of the ring & threw the report on a back burner. In india, how many are dying due to fake medicines – the corrupt officials are covering the numbers & shielding the murderers the greedy industrialists.


Previously HRW has appealed to government authorities including supreme court of India , but to no avail. It is a sad pointer to the grim fact that in India there is no value for human lives & the long arm of corruption has even reached the apex court.

NESTLE , COCA-COLA , PEPSI COLA , FRITO LAY , GSK & Other MNCs

-Are you disclosing full information to the consumers about contents of your products ?



various soft drink manufacturers & bottled drinking water manufacturers draw their raw material- water from the tube wells . nowadays due to excessive usage of chemical fertilizers , pesticide , insecticides , the ground water table is polluted by these chemicals . these are very harmful for human beings. In some areas even the ground water is poisoned by arsenic & flouride . In addition the soft drink manufacturers use chemical flavours , food additives & preservatives in their products . these are also harmful to human beings above certain limits.


Some of the MNCs are practicing double standards , while in their home operations in the U.S.A or EU they are strictly adhering to F.D.A / EU norms as consumer safety is strictly enforced there by the government , while in India they have thrown to wind the consumer safety with respect to indian operations. The situation is so worse that it has been reported in the media that SOME FARMERS ARE USING THESE SOFT DRINKS AS PESTICIDES IN THEIR FARMS. Does NESTLE , COCA COLA & other MNCs think that lives of their countrymen back home precious where as life of Indians & people of developing nations expendable. Is it not a shame that they want money , profits from businesses in the same india & other developing nations. The sad part is our own greedy , corrupt public servants give clearances to these criminal MNCs in first place. That is why in the first place our corrupt public servants who gave clearances to these criminal MNCs must be legally prosecuted.


Hereby, i want following questions answered by MNCs specifiacllay NESTLE , GSK , coca-cola & pepsi,


1.how you are removing the harmful chemicals from the tube well water ie your raw material ?


2.how you are ensuring the proper mixture of food additives , preservatives & flavours within safe limits ?


3.why not you are giving the exact quantity of all contents in the soft drink of your's on the product itself ?


4. are you exactly replicating your manufacturing & quality norms of your U.S.A operations in india ? if not why ?


5.are you strictly adhering to food norms of government of india ?


6. are you keeping the F.D.A NORMS OF U.S.A as benchmark for your operations in india ?


7. are you ready for the laboratory test of your product randomly selected by the consumer ?

Nestle Baby Milk Contamination

16:33, UK, Sunday 21 September 2008


Supermarkets have recalled Chinese-made Nestle milk powder after it was found to be contaminated with an industrial chemical.

Hong Kong's two major supermarket chains took the product off shelves after a newspaper reported it contains melamine, which can cause kidney stones and renal failure in young children.

Apple Daily said tests it commissioned showed NeslacGOLD 1+ growing up milk made in China's north-eastern Heilongjiang province contained the substance.

The Hong Kong government has now confirmed it found melamine in Nestle's Dairy Farm brand milk, made by a Nestle subsidiary in the Chinese coastal city of Qingdao.

It says the milk does not pose a serious health risk, but should not be fed to young children.

A spokeswoman for Nestle told Sky News Online that the scare does not involve the UKMARKET.

She added: "None of the milk products supplied to Nestle UK limited are from China."

The news comes after a baby milk scandal on the mainland, which has so far killed four infants and left thousands more ill.

A government food quality watchdog in China said nearly 10% of milk and drinking yoghurt samples from three major dairy companies contained melamine.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has slammed Beijing for initially failing to alert the international community about the scandal.

Beijing has monitored 6,244 cases of people ingesting formula tainted with melamine, WHO Western Pacific director Shigeru Omi told a news conference in Manila.

While there have been no confirmed cases of tainted milk being exported to other countries, both Hong Kong and Singapore have had similar problems.

Hong Kong reported its first case after a three-year-old girl was found to have a kidney stone after drinking Yili brand milk.

A number of countries have banned Chinese milk imports, and WHO officials acknowledged the problem may be bigger than already known.

One other country it would not name has been queried about possible melamine contamination on its "fish feed" products. WHO food safety expert Tony Savage declined to give details.

WHO experts are now helping China improve quality control for its food products.

Some 65 Chinese brands have been identified as being contaminated with melamine.

There are claims that manufacturers used the chemical to fraudulently boost the protein content of their products.


Maggi ban: Criminal case filed against Nestle India, its 9 directors and brand ambassadors


New Delhi: In a new development for the troubled Nestle, Mumbai-based NGO Watchdog Foundation on Monday filed a criminal case against the Indian arm of the Swiss multinational giant, Nestle India, and its nine directors over the Maggi noodles issue.

The case, which was filed in Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Andheri in Mumbai, also named Maggi brand ambassadors like Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta in the lawsuit.

Earlier in the day, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has ordered testing of branded noodles, pasta and macaroni made by firms including ITC, GSK Consumer, Ruchi International, Indo Nissin, besides Nestle.

Last week, the FSSAI has ordered recall of all variants of Maggi noodles from the IndianMARKET, terming them “unsafe and hazardous for human consumption”.

Following the FSSAI direction, many Indian states like Delhi, Maharashtra, Punjab, Assam, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Goa have banned Maggi noodles amid mounting food safety concerns and several laboratory tests reporting excessive lead in it.

Clamping down further on Nestle, the government has dragged the Maggi issue to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) for “unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements” and may seekFINANCIAL penalties among other actions.
