India's government is seeking damages of nearly $100 million from Nestle for "unfair trade practices" after the food safety watchdog banned its hugely popular Maggi noodles brand.
The government said Wednesday it has filed a suit with the country's top consumer court for 6,400 million rupees ($98.6 million) in damages from the Indian arm of the Swiss food giant.
India's food safety watchdog in June banned Nestle from making or selling noodles in the country after tests by some states found lead levels exceeded statutory limits.
Nestle has withdrawn the product in India but continues to sell it elsewhere, and has always denied the charge.
