In the aftermath of the Maggi crisis, Nestle India is aggressively trying to increase the consumption of its flagship instant noodles brand eying double digit growth.

According to sources, the complaint is to be filed on the basis of unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements and the government may seek financial penalties among other actions.

Nestle was agreeable but the tests should be conducted in the presence of a renowned scientist and the samples available with the company should be used.
