New Delhi: Delhi government on Tusday decided to initiate a case against Nestle India after it found samples of Maggi noodles "unsafe" for consumption. The decision by Delhi government against the Indian arm of Swiss multinational giant came after lab testing of samples of Maggi noodles was found to have lead exceeding the prescribed limits.

The government said officials of Nestle will be summoned in the next few days and that more action may follow including possible ban on the famous '2-minute' instant noodle after the final report of the lab testing was received.

"The detailed and final report of the test/analysis is awaited and the government has decided to take further strict action in the case once it is received," an official said. According to officials, a total of 13 samples of masala (tastemaker) were lifted by authorities from various areas of the city last week out of which 10 samples were found unsafe having lead exceeding the prescribed limits. The prescribed maximum limit of lead is 2.5 ppm.

Five samples of masala were also having monosodium glutamate without proper label declaration which is an offence under the category of misbranding, they said.

The samples were lifted by the Food Safety Officers of the Health department after receiving a communication from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
