Controversy

edit

In June 2015, Nestlé India's instant noodles product Maggi was banned by the Government of Delhi for a 15-day period after lead and monosodium glutamate in samples of the product were found to be beyond permissible limits.[15][16][17] On 5 June 2015, Maggi noodles were banned nationwide by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.[18] The ban was overturned on 13 August 2015 following the Bombay High Court's order and samples of Maggi Noodles were ordered to be retested within 6 weeks by three labs authorized by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories.[19][18][20][21] Nestle was fined ₹45 lakh for the incident by the district administration.[22] Between 5 June 2015 when the noodles were first banned and 1 September 2015, Nestlé recalled 38,000 tonnes of Maggi Noodles from stores and incinerated them at 11 cement plants across India.[23][24] Nestlé eventually cleared the Bombay High Court mandated lab tests and Maggi Noodles were allowed to be manufactured and sold again.[25]
