The National Consumer Commission (NCC) says it is investigating Grandisync CC, the supplier of Howe Instant Noodles, after finding 'reasonable suspicion' that it supplied unsafe goods that posed a potential health risk.

while the commission was awaiting laboratory results, the investigation would help understand the nature, causes, extent and degree of the risk to the public.

“Consumer safety is at the heart of the Consumer Protection Act . Should our investigation reveal that indeed Grandisnyc CC contravened the provisions of the act, we will refer the matter to the National Consumer Tribunal for the imposition of an administrative fine of 10% of their total annual turnover, or R1,000,000 — whichever is the greater,” she said.“As regulators in the food safety environment, we will get to the bottom of this matter to ensure that those liable are held accountable.
