Maggi ban a bane for 1,500 workers

Moga (Punjab): Around 1,500 workers involved in manufacturing of Maggi in India have been ‘impacted’ by the stoppage of production after ban of the instant noodles brand.

Besides, suppliers have also been hit by the Maggi ban and Nestle India’s largest supplier of spices, Moga-based Paras Spices Ltd, has already ended services of “some workers” out of the 200 temporary employees it has.

Nestle India hasn’t fired any of its permanent workers yet and is engaging them in different activities, but it hasn’t taken a long-term view on their future in case the ban on Maggi prolongs.
