The company plans to resume sales in November, a spokesman for the Swiss group said, according to Reuters. This is in compliance with the order of Bombay High Court.
In its statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday, Nestle’s Indian arm added that fresh samples from the newly produced batches will be sent for testing.
Nestle India, which has destroyed over 30,000 tonnes of the instant noodles since June when it was banned because of alleged excessive lead content, had stated that it would continue with the existing formula of the product and would not change the ingredients.
The company would start selling in the open market only after the fresh samples are cleared.
Interestingly, a recent sting operation carried out by India Today, exposed the whole fraud of food tests being done when food inspectors in UP were caught on tape agreeing to pass a product despite having high lead content for a few money.
“Once the samples are cleared, we shall commence sales”.

Production of Maggi noodles has already begun in three places named as Karnataka, Punjab, Goa and the new samples of the noodles will be tested once again before they will manufactured and hit the stores. But the main thing is reports have already suggested that Maggi noodles could be available in the market from the first week of November itself as we discussed above.
