On March 10, one Karunesh Shukla tweeted<\/a> images of Nestle’s maggi flavoured with beef and urged social media users to boycott ‘Maggi’. It is being claimed that beef flavoured maggi is being sold to Indians. “Friends, now Maggi is selling products with our (mother) cow’s beef in it. A few days back Maggi wallahs were mixing lead with Maggi noodles and selling it to us (Indian). We have to teach these foreign companies a lesson. This Holi lets embrace Indian made products and boycott the foreign ones,” reads the message posted along with the images.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

Nestle India took to Twitter<\/a> and informed that maggi noodles sold and manufactured in India “does not contain beef or any form of flavour beef”.<\/p>\n

\n

Hi, we would like to inform you that MAGGI noodles manufactured and sold by Nestl\u00e9 India does not contain beef or any form of beef flavor.<\/p>\n

\u2014 We Care At Nestl\u00e9 (@NestleIndiaCare) March 11, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While a search on Nestle India’s website<\/a> with keywords (“Maggi” and “beef”) bore no<\/a> results, the same gave results for beef flavoured maggi on Nestle’s website for Maggi products in New Zealand<\/a>, USA<\/a>, Australia<\/a> and UK<\/a>. We found the same product listed on Amazon USA’s website.<\/p>\n

\"\"Furthermore, it was found that the maggi India website includes chicken noodles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thus, the claim that beef flavoured maggi is being sold by Nestle in the Indian market is false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
