Amul’s Statement on Noida Ice Cream Incident
Amul has released a statement regarding the incident where a centipede was allegedly found in their ice cream. On June 15, around 2:30 PM, Deepa Devi from Noida reported the issue on social media. Amul promptly responded and received the customer’s contact number by 3:43 PM.
Amul stated that after obtaining the contact number, their team made continuous attempts to reach the customer and was finally able to contact her after 9:30 PM on the same day (June 15). During their visit with the customer, Amul requested the ice cream box for testing, but the customer refused to provide it.
Amul mentioned that without retrieving the complaint-bearing box from the customer, it becomes difficult for them to investigate the matter and comment on the issue. During the interaction, the customer was informed about Amul’s state-of-the-art ISO-certified plants, which are fully automated and ensure multiple quality checks before offering any products to consumers. Amul also invited customers to visit their plant to observe the quality processes in place.
