Nestle is a multinational food and beverage company headquartered in Switzerland. It operates factories worldwide and sells billions of products daily. Maggi, Nestle's ready-to-eat food brand, was hugely popular in India until a food safety scandal in 2015. Tests found unexpected levels of lead and MSG in Maggi noodles, leading to a nationwide ban in India that cost Nestle $200 million. The scandal damaged Nestle's brand and the trust of consumers in its products. Nestle had to recall Maggi noodles from stores and work to regain customer confidence in the wake of the food safety crisis.
