Results from AVA’s lab tests, which cover “a wide range of hazards associated with food”, showed that Maggi noodles from India meet local food-safety standards.
The lab also sampled Maggi instant noodles from other countries that are available here, and revealed that these meet the food-safety requirements, too.

MAGGI instant noodles from India are safe to eat. But retailers and consumers here are not about to celebrate the good news anytime soon.
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said on Monday night it has informed Singapore importers that sale of the India-made Maggi noodles may resume. This comes after its food-safety tests found that the product does not pose risks to consumers.
…
However, stores in Little India that pulled the India-made noodles from their shelves late last week are not about to put the product back as yet.
“We’ll wait and see, just to be safe,” said Mrs Vijaya Ezhilan, 50, co-owner of Selvi Stores in Buffalo Road. Her customers are mainly Indian nationals. “Many customers are not going to buy the noodles anytime soon, because reports from India are saying that they are unsafe,” she added.

Nestle Singapore says Maggi noodles safe after lead content fears http://tdy.sg/1RPnGkt
SINGAPORE — Nestle Singapore has come out to assure consumers that all its products are manufactured under stringent conditions that meet local and international standards and are safe for consumption.
The company’s statement comes a day after the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) told importers to temporarily withhold sales of Nestle’s Maggi brand instant noodles from India as a precautionary measure following the finding by authorities there of high lead content in the product.
The AVA said although Singapore did not import Maggi brand oat products produced in India, a small amount of Maggi brand instant noodles produced in India have been imported. “As a precautionary measure, AVA has taken samples of ‘Maggi’ brand instant noodles manufactured in India for food safety tests and advised affected importers to withhold sale until our tests are complete,” said a spokesperson.
