​Maggi gets banned in Delhi for 15 days

Nestle India’s trouble lasts for more than ‘two minutes’ as the Delhi government on Wednesday banned the sale of Maggi noodles for next 15 days amid the rising food-safety concerns.

Health Minister Satyendra Jain told PTI that the Aam Aadmi government in the national capital has asked Maggi producer Nestle to recall all samples of the noodle brand from Delhi.

According to Jain, "A fresh decision will be taken after 15 days after rechecking the new Maggi stocks in government labs."

The noodles's sales have been banned across the state over reports of high lead and monosodium glutamate limit in the product.
Future Group, the country's largest supermarket chain operator, has also stopped sale of the Swiss multinational's famous Maggi noodles brand at all its stores across India.

The move follows country-wide probe against the 'two-minute' instant food brand for alleged presence of lead and taste enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG) beyond permissible limits.

A Future Group spokesperson told PTI, "In the interest of consumer sentiment and concerns, we have taken Maggi noodles off the shelves from all our stores for the time being. We will wait for more clarity from authorities to take any further course of action."
The news agency further stated that Nestle's Maggi noodle has been at the centre of a raging storm after UP FDA tests found higher than stipulated levels of lead and MSG in it.
