Barking blogs seldom write facts

It was a quieter month. Indrani/Peter took a breather, Maggi was cautiously silent, Rahul Gandhi went to Aspen (CO) on a conference, Mamata Banerjee was busy working on the poll strategy and Amma has not been keeping well.

In last one month, food safety has hogged the limelight compared to all other forms of safety. The 'Maggi' episode is bigger than usual, partly because a government agency found something fishy in a few samples and partly because the brand was such a trusted name in Indian households that the shock value was on the higher side. The other reason for this controversy not dying down easily could be absence of earthquakes or other calamities in these weeks. FSSAI is a SEO sweetheart, thank s to Nestlé India. It can safely be called the first anniversary gift of the Modi government.
