As a ban continues in India on Nestle's Maggi noodles, the US
health regulator USFDA has said its tests have found the lead level in the
popular instant food within acceptable levels for US consumers. A USFDA
spokesperson, in an e-mailed statement, said: "Following news reports
about alleged lead levels in Maggi noodles made by Nestle and sold in the US,
FDA tested a limited number of samples for lead contamination. FDA testing did
not find any levels that present a public health concern for US
consumers."
