Governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Order Tests on Samples of Maggi Noodles

The governments of Indian states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have ordered tests on the samples of Maggi in wake of reports that monosodium glutamate and lead in excess of the prescribed limits were detected in the noodles, it was announced on Wednesday.

"After receiving the results and looking into contents, if we find the samples don't conform to food safety norms, we will take action," said Telangana Health Minister C. Laxma Reddy.
