Singapore food authorities, after conducting safety tests, concluded that Maggi did not pose any health risk and have allowed sale of the instant noodles manufactured in India.
The Straits Times reported that the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) informed local importers that sale of the brand's noodles from India may be resumed.
Last week, AVA had advised importers to withhold sales of Maggi while it conducted laboratory tests, in the backdrop of food scare in India that it contained higher-than-permissible levels of lead.
The news report stated that results from AVA's laboratory tests, which cover "a wide range of hazards associated with food" showed that the India-made Maggi noodles met local food safety standards.
Maggi noodles produced in other countries were also tested and results showed that they also met the food safety requirements.
Food products that fail tests will not be allowed for sale, the AVA had earlier said.
Singapore has imported "a small amount" of the brand's noodles manufactured in India.
India has banned the sale of the Maggi instant noodles after MSG and excess levels of lead were found in samples tested in New Delhi and in Uttar Pradesh.
However,Nestle India claimed that Maggi was safe and the instant noodles were taken-off shelves as faith of consumers had shaken.
