Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on April 25 said it is in the process of collecting pan-India samples of Nestle's Cerelac baby cereals, amid a global report that claimed the Company was adding higher sugar content in the product.
"We are collecting samples [of Nestle's Cerelac baby cereals] from across the country. It will take 15-20 days to complete the process," FSSAI CEO G. Kamala Vardhana Rao told on the sidelines of an Assocham event on food fortification.
FSSAI is a statutory body under the administration of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
