Hit by a major controversy, Nestle India today said it has moved the Bombay High Court asking for a judicial review of FSSAI's directive over quality of its product - Maggi Noodles. At the same time shares of Nestle India slipped into red after beginning the day in green.

In a filing to BSE, it said, "As part of the efforts to resolve the Maggi noodles issue, Nestle India has today approached the Bombay High Court raising issues of interpretation of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2011 while seeking a judicial review of the order dated June 6, 2015, passed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra and the order dated June 5 passed by FSSAI."

Last week, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) gave out an order banning all variations of Nestle India's Maggi noodles.

Nestle India had to withdraw the product from the market after quite a few states put a ban on the '2-minute' instant food as lab tests confirmed that it contained MSG (monosodium glutamate) and lead beyond permissible limits.
