Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday said that though Patanjali Ayurved was yet to receive any showcause notice from central food regulator FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) on its atta noodles brand, a reply would be given as per the law whenever his organisation gets it.
Iterating that Patanjali has not violated any law or rules and regulations mandated by the FSSAI in the launch of the noodles brand and other products, Ramdev claimed it had the licence for manufacture and sale of noodles.
The FSSAI has reportedly slapped a showcause notice on Patanjali Ayurved, demanding an explanation for the sale of the atta noodles without the food regulator’s approval.
“So far we haven’t received any notice, when the notice comes, we will give a reply as per law. We will reply to the notice at the earliest. But we assure you that we have the licence to manufacture and sell noodles.
“Patanjali has not violated any kind of law, rule or regulation by the FSSAI. Patanjali hasn't done anything illegal or unlawful. Patanjali followed whatever the FSSAI guidelines are there concerning noodles,” Ramdev told media on the sidelines of an event in neighbouring Howrah.
