Parle Biscuits to Contest Maharashtra FDA claim in Bombay High Court
The recent action by the FDA is for our product KACHHA MANGO BITE and not MANGO BITE as wrongly reported in various newspapers.
As regards KACHHA MANGO BITE, we have challenged the action taken by the FDA and the matter is sub-judice and pending before the Bombay High Court and it is our contention that use of LACTIC ACID in KACHHA MANGO BITE is ABSOLUTELY SAFE for human consumption.
LACTIC ACID is widely used in several food items of daily consumption viz. CURD, INFANT MILK BASED FORMULATIONS, BREAD, PANEER, PROCESSED CHEESE, MILK POWDER AND CREAM POWDER, TOMATO KETCHUP, SQUASHES, GARLIC PASTE, ONION PASTE, GINGER PASTE et al.
