ITC to remove no-added MSG labels from Yippee noodles

ITC, which sells Yippee noodles under Sunfeast brand, has decided to remove ‘no-added MSG’ from its labels on the instant noodle packets.

ITC has taken the decision to remove the same following the Maggi noodles controversy wherein FSSAI has pointed that  if a product does not contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), the manufacturer should refrain from using the phrase 'No added MSG' on its packets.

“In connection with another brand of noodles, the FSSAI has expressed the opinion that such a statement is inappropriate. Therefore, ITC is voluntarily taking steps to remove the phrase 'No added MSG' from its labels in its new batches of packaging and consumers should ignore this phrase on the current packaging,” added an ITC statement.

Hence, ITC claims that all new manufactured packets will now strictly follow the FSSAI norms by removing no added MSG on the fresh packets.

The company has also assured its customers of safe food products mentioning that YiPPee! noodles has been found to be in compliance with all food safety regulations and safe for consumption.
