It is from a Singaporean institution that former head of the Consumer Affairs Authority Rumy Marshook has called for a report on whether Maggi noodles, a product of Nestle, being marketed in Sri Lanka contains graphite.

There is suspicion that Egodage’s sudden Singaporean tour is due to the CAA’s having sent the samples to that country for testing.

Marshook had revealed the country of testing only to industries and commerce minister Risath Badurdeen and a handful of CAA officials, due to fears that the investigation would be influenced.
