Maggi

Three days ago, Maggi lovers heaved a sigh of relief with hopes that their favorite noodles will be back. Maggi samples from Goa were sent for lab trials and had lead in permissible limits. However, five more samples have failed tests at a laboratory in Lucknow as they contained lead content beyond the permissible limit, an official said on Saturday. The lead content in these samples, picked from neighbouring Barabanki, were found to be 2.7 parts per million more than the permissible limit at the Food Safety and Drug Administration laboratory, an official said.

Here s an answer to all your questions about Maggi by experts. Additional Commissioner (Food) R.S. Maurya said the test reports would now be sent to the Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). After initial reports of much higher lead and monosodium glutamate (MSG) content in Maggi, over 500 samples were gathered from across the state. The five samples that have been found unfit are from this collection. A ban was imposed on Maggi in June, a move which was challenged by its makers Nestle. To know the truth about MSG, read here.

Nestle has maintained that Maggi is safe for consumption and that it complies with the food standards in India. The matter is sub judice at the Bombay High Court.
