Maggi Sample Fails Test : UP government has slapped a fine of ₹45 lakh on Nestlé



Nestlé’s Maggi has run into rough weather again. The food regulator in Uttar Pradesh found a high level of ash in a noodle sample collected last November, agencies reports. The UP government has slapped a fine of ₹45 lakh on Nestlé, ₹15 lakh on its distributors and ₹11 lakh on Maggi sellers. Nestlé would appeal against the fine once it gets an official order. Maggi has encountered regulatory troubles before; it was banned for eight months in 2015 after some noodle samples tested positive for high levels of lead and monosodium glutamate.
