Despite their standard slogan 'Taste Bhi Health Bhi', Maggi Noodles comes under scanner due to High Quantities of MSG content. One of the pioneer’s in making instant noodles a sensation in India, Maggi noodles might be in trouble where samples collected from Uttar Pradesh show high content of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).
According to a report from Times of India, the Maggi samples showed that the MSG content was beyond permissible limit which is 0.01 PPM (parts per million lead) and in reality it is 17 PPM of MSG.
The health experts suggest that such additives can be harmful to children’s health which can cause nausea, headaches, stomach upset, body weakness etc. Nestle, the brand that heads the Maggi production took to the micro-blogging site twitter to deny these reports saying, “We do not add MSG to MAGGI noodles. Some ingredients may contain naturally occurring Glutamate, which can be mistaken for MSG.”
