Army Directed Military Canteens Not To Sell Maggie. The Army on Wednesday also issued an advisory asking its personnel not to consume Maggi noodles and directed military canteens [CSD] to set aside the existing stock of the popular snack until further orders.
The order covers over 1000 army canteens and the complete 13-lakh strong army. “The advisory is effective till further order,” an Army official said.
At least 10 states have either ordered the withdrawal of the popular snack from shops or ordered the testing of samples, prior to taking action against Nestle, whose shares slumped over 10% amid widespread panic over safety standards.
