Julius Maggi who later became a pioneer of industrial food production, aiming to improve the nutritional intake of worker families was the originator of Maggi that we know today.
Maggi was the first to bring protein-rich legume meals to the market, and followed up with a ready-made soup based on legume meals in 1886.
After that Julius Maggi introduced bouillon concentrates, first in capsules, then in cubes. In 1897, Julius Maggi founded the company Maggi GmbH in Singen, Germany.
Maggi is synonymous from instant Noodles and it was later acquired by Nestle in 1947.
Maggi has helped in bringing out the taste in our food but sadly the product was banned in some countries including India.
Why did they Ban Maggi in India?
The case of Maggi ban in India is related to excessive Chemicals Used. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) imposed a nationwide ban on Maggi. Global food giant Nestle’s Maggi instant noodles are banned in many of the Indian states including the Capital city Delhi, due to the presence of Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and impermissible levels of lead. The above listed chemicals are bad to human health and it was the reason Maggi was banned from India and some other countries.

A study concluded that excessive instant noodle consumption can not only trigger obesity but also metabolic ailments like diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, heart problems and so on. Most instant noodles are made of maida – milled, refined and bleached version of wheat flour.
How much Maggi is enough and or too much?
Maggi noodles: an Associated Press report, “tests—performed by food safety authorities in Uttar Pradesh—showed that samples contained 17.2 parts per million (ppm) of lead, many times the allowable limits which range between 0.01 and 2.5 ppm.”
