Food safety inspectors in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have filed a criminal complaint against Nestle’s Indian arm, after spot checks earlier this year found excess lead in some packets of Maggi instant noodles. A court hearing has been set for July 1, an official at the local Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said. The Uttar Pradesh FDA had ordered a recall of a 200,000-pack batch of noodles at the end of April, after a spot check which said showed elevated levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer, and lead 17 times above the permissible limit.
