New Delhi: The instant noodles brand launched by Ramdev's Patanjali does not have food safety approval, the central regulator FSSAI has said, a charge that the yoga teacher has denied.
"Neither Patanjali Yog nor Aayush, which are the two brand names under which Ramdev's company have got licenses, have got any approval for manufacturing instant noodles," said Ashish Bahuguna, the acting CEO of the FSSAI or Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.
He said that only 10 companies have approval for manufacturing noodles.
"I think there is some misunderstanding on this. Patanjali Atta noodle have product approval for manufacturing," he said.
But the food safety regulator said the company needed separate permission to make "Atta" or wheat noodles.
