Nestle India today said all samples of Maggi have passed the tests conducted by three laboratories which were mandated by Bombay high court, paving the way for the instant noodles brand to be back in the stores after it was banned over the presence of excess lead.
The company claimed that it will now commence manufacturing and will sell “only after the newly manufactured products are also cleared by the designated three laboratories”. All the 90 samples, covering 6 variants, tested by these laboratories were found safe with lead much below the permissible limits.
“We have received test results from all three laboratories mandated by the Honourable Bombay high court to test Maggi Noodles samples. All the 90 samples, covering six variants, tested by these laboratories are clear with lead much below the permissible limits,” Nestle India said in a statement.
The company, which had earlier said it was planning to bring back the Maggi noodles in the market by this year end, further said that it is committed to reintroducing Maggi noodles “at the earliest”.
