After the uproar over the safety hazards of instant maggi noodles, Nestle has been working towards damage control and has promised probe into the matter.

"We are confident that these packs are no longer in the market. The company does not agree with the order and is filing the requisite representations with the authorities," a Nestle spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
According to the company, they do not add MSG to the product, but add hydolised groundnut protein, onion powder and wheat flour to the masala packet, all of which contain glutamate.
"The quality and safety of our products are the top priorities for our Company," they have said, adding, "We are aware of reports that tests by the local authorities have detected Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in a sample of MAGGI Noodles and that they are continuing their investigation. We have submitted product samples to an independent accredited laboratory and will share the results with the authorities."
On charges that Maggi noodles contain higher levels of lead, Nestle said it regularly monitors for lead as part of its quality control process.
