Govt drags Nestle to Consumer Court over unfair trade practice
AGENCY
NEW DELHI: Clamping down further on Nestle over Maggi issue, government has dragged it to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) for “unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements” and may seek financial penalties among other actions.
The development comes amidst the Indian unit of the Swiss multinational withdrawing Maggi from the markets after several states banned the instant food brand as tests showed them containing MSG and lead in excess. (PTI)
