The Indian food regulator has issued an order banning the sale of Nestle instant spaghetti from the Maggi Instant Noodles series.
The ban was imposed after a series of tests in various states of the country, in which harmful ingredients were found in them, as well as high lead content.
The Indian Food and Food Standards Agency announced in a deliberate statement that it has ordered the giant to withdraw from the market in the country all 9 approved versions of Maggi Instant Noodles, as well as to stop their production.
The ban was most actively imposed on the state of New Delhi, where a 15-day total ban on the distribution and sale of spaghetti was imposed.
The restrictive measure is also expected to be adopted by other Indian states, which are currently awaiting further tests before imposing the ban.
New Delhi State Health Minister Satender Kumar Jain added that the government intends to file a lawsuit against Nestle India producers, accusing them of violating the state's food law.
The country has even launched a broad public campaign against these products. Local television shows footage of children destroying packages of the spaghetti in question, throwing them to the ground and crushing them with their feet.
The ban on the sale of Maggi Instant Noodles spaghetti will deal a major blow to the company.
This brand of spaghetti has become a favorite of the people of India and in the last few decades has been an integral part of the Indian table.
Nestle CEO Paul Bulke has asked to see the results of the laboratory tests in person.
He told reporters that the spaghetti produced by the company was completely safe and the authorities' fears were unfounded, but had led to an environment of confusion for consumers of the product.
The company's management said that the confusion has developed to the extent that they prefer to remove the spaghetti from the shelves, despite the fact that they are completely safe.
Nestle has promised all Indian instant spaghetti fans that they will be back on the shelves as soon as the issue is clarified.
