Mr Bulcke said the company had withdrawn the noodles in India because "we feel the consumer was distressed. We are a company that relies on the trust of the consumer," Nestle's top executive said, adding, "We will do whatever it takes to clarify unfounded confusion...We will engage with authorities to clarify the issues."
He said the company was "Trying to learn why there's difference in test results carried out in other laboratories and ours. There is confusion about how you test... if we put them together, we can see why a difference in test results."
