Maggi Msg

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 Nestle today said its popular Maggi has cleared tests conducted by Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) under the directive of Supreme Court, reiterating that its instant noodles brand is safe for consumption.

FMCG major Nestle on Monday said its popular Maggi has cleared tests conducted by Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) under a Supreme Court directive, reiterating that its instant noodles brand is safe for consumption.

The Supreme Court was told that one report of a test on Maggi noodles by the government research institute has shown that MSG was on the higher side.

The Supreme Court has asked a government laboratory in Mysore to clarify whether its tests on Maggi noodles show lead and monosodium glutamate or MSG within safe limits.

The apex consumer court on Thursday for the first time ordered tests on 13 samples of Maggi noodles from nine batches to determine lead and MSG content.

Phrasing the catchline for the noodles as "Jhat pat pakao, aur befikr khao", the yoga guru claimed it will have 'no added MSG and lead'.

The FSSAI had found high amounts of lead and traces of MSG in Nestle's Maggi and on June 5, and ordered a ban on the noodles that was quickly followed by Maharashtra FDA.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), had said in its ban-order issued on June 5, that tests conducted on a batch of Maggi were found to contain more-than-permissible levels of lead and high quantities of mono-sodium glutamate (MSG).

As a ban continues in India on Nestle's Maggi noodles, the US health regulator USFDA has said its tests have found the lead level in the popular instant food within acceptable levels for US consumers.

Nestle India was asked to recall Maggi noodles as its samples were found to be containing more than permissible limits of lead and were also violating the labelling requirement, Government today said.

Maggi continuing to be off the shelves in the market place, government today said its manufacturer Nestle was "not forthcoming" on giving reasons for the high MSG levels found in some of the packages.

In a major boost to Nestle India, FSSAI-approved laboratory has found Maggi noodles to be in compliance with the country's food safety standards.

The Bombay High Court today reserved its order till August 3 on a petition filed by Nestle India against orders of Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and Food and Drugs Administration of Maharashtra banning Maggi as it contained lead beyond permissible limit.

The Bombay High Court today made serious observations on delays in commercial cases and its impact on business, when government lawyers representing government's food safety regulators were not present for a hearing.
