Maggi is a preferable snack in every Indian home. Every teenager and adult is in love with this easy to cook snack. Maggi won hearts of the people with it’s ‘2-minute’ cooking time tagline and since then we’ve been loyally eating it.
As we have shown our love for the company, the company had some responsibilities for their customers as well. It is very important for a brand to ensure the quality of the food product they are delivering. Any negligence over this can affect the lives of people and can lead to dangerous health issues.
