Amid questions over approval for newly-launched Patanjali noodles, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Thursday said the company representatives will call on FSSAI officials to sort out the issue amicably.


“Our representatives are going to the FSSAI headquarters with original copies of the selling licence, along with the manufacturer’s licence. It seems there is an issue of lack of coordination and it could be resolved by sitting together,” Ramdev said.

“We have got approval from FSSAI. Those who are doing contract manufacturing for us have got approval, too. They have the manufacturing licence,” he said. Minister of food processing industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal declined to comment, saying it’s a matter “between the ministry of health and Baba Ramdev”.

However, she added: “I am sure that the (health) ministry is looking into it to ensure these kinds of roadblocks are not there.” FSSAI chairperson Ashish Bahuguna had said on Wednesday no approval or licence was granted to Patanjali for its instant noodles.

Ramdev, however, wondered when FSSAI itself has “stopped product approval, where is the illegal act committed”.
