New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice to Centre over fresh testing of the Maggi samples.
The apex court will on Wednesday hear Maggi noodles manufacturer Nestle India's plea.
The court had on Saturday sought a response from Maggi noodles manufacturer and Maharashtra government on a plea filed by food regulator FSSAI.
The plea is against the Bombay High Court verdict lifting ban on nine variants of Maggi noodles and asking the company to go for fresh tests.
An apex court bench fixed the plea for hearing on January 13 when it will consider FSSAI's prayer for stay of the High Court verdict.
Nestle had relaunched Maggi noodles in the market on November 9, 2015 after fulfilling conditions set by Bombay High Court which lifted ban imposed by FSSAI and Maharashtra FDA.
According to the company, the ban had impacted 3.97 lakh wheat farmers and 15,000 spice farmers besides over 10,000 employees of its suppliers. It had also impacted its 3,000 contract workers also.
