In June 2015, Nestlé India's instant noodles product Maggi was banned by the Government of Delhi for a 15-day period after lead and monosodium glutamate in samples of the product were found to be beyond permissible limits. On 5 June 2015, Maggi noodles were banned nationwide by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. The ban was overturned on 13 August 2015 following the Bombay High Court's order and samples of Maggi Noodles were ordered to be retested within 6 weeks by three labs authorized by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Nestle was fined ₹45 lakh for the incident by the district administration. Between 5 June 2015 when the noodles were first banned and 1 September 2015, Nestlé recalled 38,000 tonnes of Maggi Noodles from stores and incinerated them at 11 cement plants across India. Nestlé eventually cleared the Bombay High Court mandated lab tests and Maggi Noodles were allowed to be manufactured and sold again.
