Lucknow, May 20 (IBNS) The popular Maggi noodles may face a ban in Uttar Pradesh after monosodium glutamate or MSG and lead were found beyond permissible limits in samples.

Reports said the  Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration department will soon start prosecution proceedings against Nestle, the manufacturers of  Maggi.

The Assistant Commissioner of Food Safety in Uttar Pradesh said that the samples were tested in a Kolkata lab and showed added MSG and lead. Further tests have been ordered.

Meanwhile, Nestle has said in a statement,  "We are aware of reports that tests by the local authorities have detected MSG in a pack of MAGGI Noodles. The authorities are continuing with their investigation. We have also submitted product samples to an independent laboratory. We do not add MSG to Maggi noodles and our label declarations are as per local regulation."
