While the Maggi row is still raging, a woman in the UP capital found hundreds of dead worms in a pack of the Complan energy drink, prompting authorities to order a test just days after food giant Nestle withdrew its popular Maggi noodles across the country following food safety concerns.
The food supplement or the ‘complete planned food’ as the makers say, seems to have landed in trouble after this discovery.
Narrating the trauma she and her family members went through, Tanisha, a resident of Mahanagar, said, “It was on Saturday morning that I opened the Complan packet and added few spoons of the food supplement in milk.
However, as soon as I stirred the food drink, I was amazed to see virtually a can of white worms and some dead insects floating on the surface.” “I wouldn’t have noticed if there were one or two worms, but there were hundreds in the packet. Some were white in colour while a few were black,” she said.
The Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) on Saturday sent a sample of Complan for testing after her husband Darshan Singhania filed a complaint.
