Should Maggi be banned? Top Twitter reactions

Maggi has issued a statement after Indian food inspectors ordered Nestlé India to recall a batch of noodles from shops across the country, saying the product contained dangerous levels of lead.

"We do not add MSG to Maggi noodles and our label declarations are as per local regulation. We use raw materials in noodles which can contain naturally occurring glutamate," Maggi said in a statement.

Now we know why Maggi always 'lead' the market.

Young mothers allow their kids to drool on maggi noodles, pizzas and burgers - all of which create havoc to the child's intellect and body.

Please don't ban Maggi. Even if excess lead damages brain. Too much brain is an impediment to success in life

Maggi can always reject criticism as those planted by Top Ramen agents.

#maggi has high levels of MSG so it could be banned, what about some idiots who have high level of MCP?

#maggiban So now #Maggi is being banned in Hindutva state just because Maggie noodles look like muslims dish seviyan? Is this secular India?

If Maggi gets banned, what example will professors use in B Schools for misleading Advertisement?

— Gappistan Radio (@GappistanRadio) May 20, 2015

2-minute silence for hostelites, single men and women. #Maggi

— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) May 20, 2015

By banning Maggi, the UP govt is noodlessly interfering in junk food. Questionable lead-ership.

— Madhavan Narayanan (@madversity) May 20, 2015

"Maggi Noodles" is an anagram of "O, MSG, Lead go in?" #JustSaying

— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) May 20, 2015

My only problem with Maggi Noodles is that they always made us believe that it can be made in just 2 minutes.

If you're eating Maggi for nutrition maybe you should just not ever eat ever

— Rohan (@mojorojo) May 20, 2015

I eat Maggi because: 1) I'm drunk and 2) I know it's terrible 3) Which makes it amazing

— Rohan (@mojorojo) May 20, 2015

Wife banned Maggi long ago for daughter as lead can damage brain. But she lets me have it -she says my brain is already irreparably damaged

Dear #Maggi, I have grown up loving you. I am heart broken to know that you have been a poison all through out.

— Shuja-ul-Haq (@ShujaUH) May 21, 2015

But Nestle has too much money to let #Maggi be banned. We will keep eating nostalgia at the cost of our future.
