Controversy

In June 2015, Nestlé India's instant noodles product 'Maggi Noodles' 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.[16][17][18] On 5 June 2015 Maggi noodles were banned nationwide by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.[19] 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.[20][19][21][22] Nestle was fined ₹45 lakh for the incident by the district administration.[23] 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.[24][25] Nestlé eventually cleared the Bombay High Court mandated lab tests and Maggi Noodles were allowed to be manufactured and sold again.[26]
