Amid questions over approval for the newly-launched Patanjali noodles, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Thursday said the company representatives will call on Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) officials to sort out the issue amicably.
“Our representatives are going to the FSSAI headquarters with original copies of the selling licence, along with the manufacturer's licence. It seems there is an issue of lack of coordination and it could be resolved by sitting together,” Ramdev said.
“We have got approval from FSSAI. Those who are doing contract manufacturing for us have got approval, too. They have the manufacturing licence,” he said.
Minister of Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal declined to comment, saying it’s a matter “between the Ministry of Health and Baba Ramdev”. However, she added: “I am sure that the (health) ministry is looking into it to ensure these kinds of roadblocks are not there.”
