After samples of Maggi noodles in New Delhi were tested positive for containing lead beyond permissible limits, the Kejriwal government has said it would initiate a case against Nestle. "Last week, a total of 13 samples of Maggi noodles were lifted and on test/analysis of the same it was found that in case of masala (tastemaker) part of the Maggi noodles, 10 masala samples were found unsafe having lead exceeding the prescribed limits. The prescribed maximum limit of lead is 2.5 ppm,' the government said in a statement.

Stating that "five samples of masala were also having monosodium glutamate without proper label declaration", the government said, "This falls under the category of misbranding."
