NEW DELHI: Food giant Nestle has replaced the head of its Indian operations as the company battles its worst ever public relations crisis in India after the Maggi crisis.
The Swiss food giant’s India MD Etienne Benet is getting transferred to its headquarters in Switzerland.
Benet will be replaced by Suresh Narayanan, chairman and CEO of Nestle Philippines, who is slated to assume office from next month.
Last month, Nestle India had announced that it was in the process of destroying Maggi noodles worth Rs 320 crore after it was banned by the safety regulator FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) due to presence of excess lead and taste enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG).
