In 2015, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had directed Nestlé to withdraw and recall nine variants of Maggi noodles to rectify the 'No added MSG' labels.
The food safety authority also cited studies that revealed significant lead content in different variants of Maggi noodles.
The company immediately withdrew its products as ordered, but challenged the move before the Bombay High Court.
Taking note of the voluntary withdrawal by Nestlé, the High Court stayed the government's order.
Eventually, the Bombay High Court allowed the challenge and permitted Nestlé to resume business.
