The samples of Maggi noodles tested in Delhi were found dangerous for consumption carrying lead more than the permissible limit. The Delhi government is likely to impose a heavy fine against Nestle for selling unsafe products.
“Out of 13 samples taken last week, 10 have been found to be containing lead more than the permissible limit. Eighty percent of the samples failed. The officials (of Nestle India which manufactures Maggi noodles) will be called tomorrow (Wednesday) and further action will be taken,” said Health Minister Satyendra Jain said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, based on a consumer complaint in coimbatore, a sample of the firm's baby milk powder, NAN Pro-3 has been tested positive for live larvae. According to the results, the milk powder has been stated unsafe for consumption by the Tamil Nadu Food Safety Wing.

The stock opened at Rs 6,533, touched a low of Rs 6,119 on the BSE.
