Nearly five months ago the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) Lucknow found a few samples of Maggi Noodles to have lead beyond permissible limits along with the presence of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). This led to many states banning the product followed by some more sampling and testing of Maggi Noodles samples across the nation.
What followed was a nationwide ban on Maggi Noodles.
The product was take off market and is nowhere to be seen since half a year now. This also lead to the central and state level food regulating authorities crack their whip on other fast food brands as well. Many other brands of instant noodles were tested. In the meanwhile, the apex consumer court ordered tests on 13 samples of Maggi noodles from nine batches to determine lead and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) content. The decision was taken by a bench of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) in November. Later in the month of November a Nestle India spokesperson shared that, "In compliance with the orders of the High Court of Bombay, fresh samples from the newly manufactured batches will be sent for testing to the three accredited laboratories designated by the High Court. We shall commence sale only after the samples are cleared by these laboratories."
The first week this month seemed to have brought good tidings as Maggi Noodles samples got clean chit from the accredited laboratories and were deemed fit for consumption. "We have received the results from all the three NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing Calibration Laboratories) mandated by the Bombay High Court to test newly-manufactured Maggi noodles samples," the company said in a regulatory filing with stock exchanges.
"All the samples of the Maggi noodles masala have been cleared with lead much below permissible limits," the statement said, adding this has validated their stand, maintained all along, that the noodles were and continue to be safe.
Maggi is on its way!
Nestle India today re-launched its popular Maggi noodles in India, five months after they were banned due to alleged presence of excessive lead content. Besides, the Swiss food major has partnered with online marketplace Snapdeal for the rollout.
