Top Ramen also pulled out from market after Maggi

Indo Nissin Foods, maker of Top Ramen noodles, announced late on Monday that it is withdrawing the entire Top Ramen instant noodles brand from the market, pending its product approval from the Indian food regulator, Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Indo Nissin is a subsidiary of Japanese instant noodles firm Nissin Foods Holdings. The brand has been selling in the country for more than two decades. Indo Nissin clarified that it had been selling Top Ramen in India with necessary licenses since 1991. But after the FSSAI formulated fresh product approval guidelines in 2012-end, Indo Nissin had applied for approvals which it said haven't yet been cleared by the regulator.
