On its move to withdraw all instant noodle products from its stores, the company said, "This unprecedented step of going beyond a piecemeal approach is based on three basic commitments - health and wellbeing of our customers and our unflinching commitment to stock only products of the highest assurance."
"Enlightened interest of our 11 partner companies whose products we stock and to remain in 100 per cent compliance of legal and regulatory processes across the country irrespective of individual jurisdictions."
The company said instant noodles have been returned to distribution centres and labeled as 'not for sale' and designated food safety officers have been informed of the action.
In Tamil Nadu, a memorandum on action taken is being presented to the Commissioner, Food Safety and other relevant authorities requested to share findings from their labs, the company said.
Earlier this week, Future Group, Kendriya Bhandar, Walmart and Metro took Maggi noodles off their retail and wholesale stores.
