The Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Punjab governments have decided to send Nestle’s noodle brand Maggi to the labs to check for levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead.
This follows reports of these contents exceeding their prescribed levels in tests conducted in Uttar Pradesh and some other parts of the country.
Uttar Pradesh and Kerala have already ordered the retailers in their states to take the product off their shelves.
The Food Safety Department of Tamil Nadu has initiated proceedings in this regard, collecting samples and sending them to laboratories across the state to be examined, department officials said.
Tests would be conducted to establish if Maggi noodles contained MSG and lead in excess of the prescribed limits, they said.
The Central Government had made it clear on Tuesday that Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is testing more Maggi samples collected from different states following the detection of MSG and lead in excess of the prescribed limit in the noodles.
Last week, a case had been lodged against Nestle India by state food regulator FSDA in a local court at Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh over safety standards of its Maggi, while actors Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit and Preity Zinta have also been dragged into it for promoting the ‘two-minute’ noodles brand.
Punjab also joined the states which have ordered laboratory testing of Maggi noodles samples following allegations of lapses in food safety standards.

All the products should be tested randomly and even this applies to fast food shops too.
