Singapore authorities have ordered local importers to temporarily suspend of the sale of Nestle's Maggi noodles imported from India amid reports that high lead content was found in the popular instant snack in India.


The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority's decision comes after India banned the sale of the noodles for 15 days in Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Tamil Nadu after high levels of lead were discovered in batches tested in New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.


"A small amount" of Maggi brand instant noodles from India have been imported into Singapore, but Maggi oat products manufactured there have not been brought in here, The Straits Times reported.
