New Delhi, June 4 (IBNS) Maggi Noodles, a popular brand across the country has faced a "15 day ban" in Delhi following an order by the government which asked Nestle India, the manufacturers to recall current stocks from the capital by that time and make available new stock.

The Indian army too has asked soldiers to avoid Maggi, reports said.

In Delhi the  new stock will  be allowed after a proper check of its ingredients which have become a matter of controversy in recent times after the Uttar Pradesh government took a similar action.

Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jina, who  who met Nestle officials on Wednesday said he was "not satisfied with their response".
