Swiss giant Nestle will begin to start manufacturing of Maggi Noodles at two of its plants Pantnagar and Tahliwal. According to the company, the newly manufactured samples of instant Maggi noodles were approved safe by the government. The company is planning to begin the retail sales of Maggi Noodles, the popular snack, this month.

As per the instructions from the Bombay High Court, all the samples of the newly manufactured batches from its three plants Moga (Punjab), Nanjangud (Karnataka), and Bicholim (Goa) were cleared by three NABL accredited labs.

A statement from Nestle India said, “Now that the orders of the Bombay High Court have been complied with, we will make our best endeavour to commence the sale of MAGGI Noodles Masala within this month as well as continue engaging with states where permissions are needed or specific directions may be necessary.”

“...for the other two locations at Tahliwal and Pantnagar, we are engaging with the relevant authorities in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand to obtain directions for commencing manufacture of MAGGI Noodles,” it added.
