Maggi Ban Controversy

In June last year, FSSAI had banned Nestle's Maggi noodles over allegations of high lead content and the presence of MSG above permissible limit.

FMCG major ITC on Sunday said sales of its instant noodles brand Yippee are recovering and its market share has risen to anywhere between 30 and 40 per cent.

Government today rejected suggestions that the five-month ban Swiss giant Nestle's Maggi noodles was in retaliation to the European Union's clampdown on marketing of 700 generic drugs for alleged manipulation of clinical trials by GVK Bio.

Diversified group ITC's instant noodles brand Yippee is inching closer to become a Rs 1,000-crore brand, making the most out of the controversy that hit rival Nestle's Maggi.

In the aftermath of the Maggi crisis, Nestle India is aggressively trying to increase the consumption of its flagship instant noodles brand eying double digit growth, a top company executive said.

The Supreme Court today ordered testing of samples of Maggi noodles in Mysore laboratory after the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) had directed that it be done in Chennai.

The Supreme Court sought the central government's response on Nestle India's plea challenging the "legality and correctness" of the NCDRC order directing testing of 16 samples of Maggi noodles to ascertain their safety for consumption.

The ban on Maggi noodles sent out a "disturbing message" to Switzerland's enterprises, raising questions about the implementation of India's regulatory framework, Swiss Ambassador Linus von Castelmur said today.
