6. ISSUES
Presence of Lead in excess of the permissible safety limit
Under FSS Regulations 2011 lead content in food not specified category must not be
more than 2.5 ppm.
Violation of Labeling Regulations
Under the FSS Regulations 2011 Prepackaged food shall not be described or
presented on any label or in any labeling manner that is false, misleading or
deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character in any
respect.
FSSAI alleged that label of the said product specifically mentions ‘’No added MSG’’
whereas, the product was f
Release of non-standardized produce

7. MERCHANTABILITY OF THE PRODUCT
The warranty of merchantability is based off the idea that the seller is in a better state to
know whether a product will perform properly.
The warranty ensures that the product sold will:
 Pass without objection in the trade
 Be of uniform quality and quantity
 Be fit for its ordinary purposes
 Be adequately packaged and labeled
 Conform to its labels
Since, the product wasn’t properly packaged and labeled due to the non-disclosure of the
actual MSG and lead content in it, led to breach of warranty of merchantability.

8. CONCLUSION
More testing to be done by NABL
Maggi resumes its selling in India due to lack of evidence
Currently Maggi has 76% of market share in India
