After Britain and Singapore, Canada says Maggi noodles safe for consumption

Canadian food regulator has announced that Nestle India's Maggi noodle products are safe for consumption.

"The Canadian Food Inspection Agency's (CFIA) investigation did not find any health risk associated with the consumption of Maggi brand noodle products sold in Canada," the food regulator said in a release on Friday.

Maggi noodles were banned by the food regulator in India on June 5 after a high amount of lead and chemical monosodium glutamate were found in it. Nestle withdrew all varieties of Maggi noodles hours before the ban that ruled it "unsafe and hazardous".

"We are continuing to monitor the situation in India and working with our international regulatory partners," CFIA said in the release.

In June, Singapore's food regulator had also declared Maggi noodles from India as safe for consumption.

On July 1, Britain's Food Standards Authority confirmed that levels of lead in the Maggi noodles in the country were well within the European Union permissible levels and would not be a concern to consumers.

The Bombay High Court recently allowed Nestle to export Maggi from India.
