Nestle India's noodles
The FSA is aware of the recent incident in India involving Maggi Noodles. We are currently working with Nestlé UK and the European Commission to investigate a report of higher than expected levels of lead and undeclared Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in Maggi Noodles.

The batch of noodles originally tested by the authorities in India, which was found to contain lead, was not sold in the UK.

Nestlé UK have informed us that they currently only import masala flavour ‘Maggi 2 Minute Noodles’ from India. Other flavour Maggi Noodles are not imported by Nestlé UK from India, but from Nestlé factories in other countries.

Following the incident in India, we have taken the decision to test for levels of lead in all Maggi Noodles as a precaution.
