Nestle SA will soon incarnate the Maggi noodles again in India from October. Maggi noodles will be in stores for sale by the end of this year.
This year in May, Nestle was at the center of the country’s worst packaged food sace in a decade, when the local regulators reported some packets of the very famous maggi noodles across the India, contained unsafe levels of lead.
The company had to order a recall of the product a month later, which cost it about 66 million Swiss francs.
In August, Indian High court was in favour of Nestle in the battle to overturn nationwide bad on the noodles. This snack have to still undergo few safety tests before it goes for sale again.
“The comeback of Maggi is clearly at the top of our agenda. This is a fourth of our business,” Suresh Narayanan, the newly appointed head of Nestle’s Indian operations, said.
Nestle is now awaiting for the recent results at court- appointed laboratories, expected by early october after which it can start its production again.
And after the other tests, sales can restart.
“I don’t have a magic wand,” Narayanan said, declining to give a date at which Maggi noodles will regain their position in the Indian market. “It is going to be a climb up.”
