It has been few days since Nestle India's 'Maggi' is back on shelf. It seemed that the whole controversy was finally put to rest. However issues do not seem to end here. As per a leading financial daily, food safety regulator has appealed to the Supreme Court against Bombay High Court's order which lifted the ban on the 'Maggi' noodles. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) contended that the Bombay High Court's order was 'erroneous'.

FSSAI justified that the order was 'erroneous' by stating that the High Court had asked Nestle India to deliver the samples to be tested in these laboratories. However, instead a neutral authority should have been appointed to deliver the samples of Maggi noodles to be tested in these laboratories.

In response to this Nestle India stated that they have yet not been served a notice and are not aware of its content.

Nestle India recently declared its results for the quarter ended September 2015. The Maggi controversy continued to take a toll on Nestle's financial performance as it reported a revenue decline of 20% YoY; the domestic business fell by a third, while exports were down by 6% YoY.
