Nestle India has been allowed to export Maggi noodles by the Bombay High Court but the product will remain off shelves in India. The decision was made on 2nd July 2015. Nestle India went to the Bombay High Court raising issues of “Interpretation of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2011.” The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) told the company to withdraw nine approved variants of the instant noodles after testing found they were “unsafe and hazardous” due to lead level concerns and findings of monosodium glutamate (MSG). “At the hearing today the Bombay High Court allowed Nestle India to continue the export of Maggid noodles. The court has fixed the matter for further hearing on 14th July,” said a Nestle India statement. “ As the matter is sub-judice we cannot make any further comment on the case at this stage. We await the official order from the High Court.” Nestle India exports to Canada, UK, Singapore and Kenya and to third parties in the US, Australia and New Zealand.
