問題詳情：

The Maggi noodles cook in two minutes and are popular among children and students. The food manufacturer(生產商) Nestle sells about $240 million worth of the noodles every year. However, tests show Maggi noodles contain large amounts of the heavy metal---lead(鉛).

India’s food safety agency declared(宣佈) Maggi noodles unsafe to eat. Supermarkets in at least six states have banned(禁止) the product up to now. Fortunately, nobody died of eating Maggi noodles. The recall(召回) of Maggi noodles is one of India’s largest food actions of all time.

Nestle has refused the test results. It says the product is made according to the international food safety standard. Nestle has asked for an examination of the government’s testing method. Several countries, including Canada and Britain, also have suggested a reliable test on Maggi noodles. But India’s food safety agency stands by(支援) its reports.

Food safety experts note that India’s food safety agency is just seven years old. India has met such food scares before. In 2006, a New Delhi environmental group raised questions about small amounts of pesticide(殺蟲劑) in Coca-Cola and Pepsi drinks. Packaged food is not as safe as it appears to be. So the testing of packaged food should be happening more regularly,especially for the bigger products which are circulated in millions.

A number of Maggi noodles fans are not persuaded of the food threat. ShwetaAndrew says, “ I don’t think there is any problem in having Maggi. I have grown up having Maggi, and it does not matter really.” Nestle Chief Executive Paul Bulcke says he is working with India to remove the ban. And Nestle will spare no effort to win back the trust of customers.
