Food group Nestle has reportedly withdrawn Maggi noodles from sale in India due to ‘an environment of confusion for consumers’, following a food scare sparked by reports of excess lead in some packets of the popular instant snack.
At least six states have banned Maggi noodles after tests revealed some packets contained excess amounts of lead. On June 4, Tamil Nadu became the first state to ban several brands of instant noodles, including Nestle.
Nestle India has its presence in India for around nine decades, making it one of the oldest company in India. Nestle has created brands like Nestle Milkmaid, Nestle Everyday, Maggi Noodles, Maggi Soups, Polo, Kit Kat, Nescafe and many more.
