Ban on Maggi noodles lifted in Gujarat and Karnataka

October 19, 2015 17:12

For those who are fans of the 2-minute noodles, there's some good news. The ban imposed on Maggi in the states of Gujarat and Karnataka have been lifted after the labs cleared them. In June, the food regulator had banned Maggi noodles saying it was "unsafe and hazardous" for consumption after finding lead levels beyond permissible limits. The company had withdrawn the instant noodles from the market. Nestle India had challenged the ban by FSSAI in the Bombay High Court. In August, the court had lifted the nation-wide ban imposed by the Indian food regulators on Maggi noodles but ordered a fresh test of samples of the product in three independent labs across India.
