UK’s food regulator Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Wednesday gave a clean chit to Nestle for Maggi manufactured in India saying levels of lead in the product are well within the EU permissible levels. It began when a couple of maggi samples were tested and found to have high lead content due to which wide scale withdrawl of the product was witnessed in India.

Nestle further informed FSA that the only variety of Maggi Noodles they import into the UK from India is the ‘masala flavour’. FSA has tested this flavor and also urged Nestle to share the test results by testing them in their own laborotary. All showed levels of lead to be well within EU permissible levels,” it said in an interview with TOI.

Total 900 samples were taken from local & port authorities.  Similarly, food regulators of other countries such the Vietnam Food Administration (VFA), National Measurement Institute in Australia and Singapore’s Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) have given clean chit to the company and said Maggi noodles imported from India are “completely safe to eat”.  Nestle India currently exports Maggi noodles to Canada, UK, Singapore and Kenya and to third parties in the US, Australia and New Zealand.
