The event:
In the past few days, various state Food Safety authorities have
conducted quality tests on Maggi Noodles (Maggi) to ascertain whether
Lead and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) levels are within permissible limits
or not. The controversy erupted when the Lucknow Food Safety and Drug
Administration found excess lead and MSG in Maggi after a few samples
were subjected to tests at Kolkata’s referral laboratory. Several other state
governments have conducted tests on Maggi samples to check for any
violation of the food safety standards and banned the product temporarily
(Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Gujarat, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar
and J&K have issued a notification to ban the manufacture, storage,
distribution and sale of Maggi). The controversy has reportedly hurt sales as
several retailers (such as WalMart, Big Bazaar, Reliance and Metro) have
pulled Maggi off the shelves; the company is also facing a backlash on social
media websites.
Nestle India’s initial response:
Nestle India has defended itself and stated
that (press release appended in the note) as per internal tests conducted
on 1000 batches and independent lab test on 600 batches, Maggi is safe to
eat with lead levels well within the food safety limits specified by the Indian
authorities. However it has temporarily taken Maggi off the shelves till the
probe is over, citing “consumer confusion” around the product and
emphasized that the trust of the consumer and safety of the products
remains its top priority. At today’s press conference, Nestle’s Global CEO
Paul Bulcke stated that the company maintains the same food safety and
quality assurance standards for Maggi across the world, and it is
deciphering the reason for discrepancies in the company test results and
those conducted by the government authorities.
Likely impact of the controversy:
Even as we believe that Nestle will
eventually tide over the crisis by addressing additional requirements of the
authorities, we are of the view that the controversy around the product has
impacted the brand’s iconic status in the interim. Prepared Dishes &
Cooking Aids forms 29% of sales and Instant Noodles constitutes ~75-80%
of the segment revenues, in our view. Thus, we estimate that Maggi
Noodles contributes ~20% of revenues and ~25% of operating profit.
Besides the obvious impact on sales, the crisis could also hurt the operating
leverage of Nestle as Prepared Dishes & Cooking Aids was the only segment
during CY14 that was growing in volumes. However, we believe that the
impact on brand equity is more devastating because Maggi is widely
consumed by kids and restoring consumer trust could take time.

Nestle India
FSSAI order:
FSSAI has ordered Nestle to take the following steps: a)
Withdraw and recall all the nine approved variants of Maggi Instant
Noodles from the market and stop further production, processing, import,
distribution and sale of the product with immediate effect; b) remove “No
added MSG” label from the existing packaging; c) withdraw and recall
“Maggi Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker”
for which risk/safety
assessment has not been undertaken and product approval has not been
granted; d) withdraw with immediate effect any other Nestle food product
from market for which risk assessment has not been undertaken; e) submit
a compliance report within three days and furnish progress reports on the
recall process on a daily basis thereafter till the process is completed.
Valuation and View:
We await Nestle’s response to FSSAI order and keep
our estimates unchanged at this stage. We understand this issue could also
impact the performance of other products in the prepared dishes portfolio
for Nestle in the near term (Pasta, Soup, Ketchup, etc). Have valuations
reached a stage where “great franchise going through crisis and should be
bought” thesis can be applied? We believe valuations haven’t corrected
adequately yet (despite the ~20% correction from recent peak) to make the
risk/reward favorable. The Stock trades at 37x CY15E and 32x CY16E EPS.
We will await better entry points to turn more constructive on the stock.
Recent operating performance has been sluggish (three-year volume CAGR
of 0.7%). Maintain Neutral with a revised target price of INR6300 (33x CY16
EPS; we reduce our target P/E from 38x to 33x to keeping in mind the
uncertainty). We note that our estimates can change materially depending
on the outcome of this case and Nestle’s decision on timelines to keep the
product off the shelves.

Nestle India
Key takeaways from today’s press conference of Nestle’s CEO
Paul Bulcke
Maggi Noodles are safe to eat. No MSG is added during manufacturing.
Taken Maggi off the shelves temporarily, until current situation is clarified. Trust
of consumers and safety of products is the top priority.
Internal tests and independent tests conducted by the company indicate that
the product is safe and well within the food safety limits specified by the Indian
authorities.
Nestle is undertaking additional tests to ensure there is no problem.
No sharing of the test reports formally yet. Open to any kind of facility check
that the government wants to undertake.
Same food safety and quality assurance standards maintained for Maggi across
the world.
Been in India for more than 100 years. India is important for Nestle. Not taking
Maggi off from shelves in other countries.
Will come out with new packaging without the “No added MSG” label.
Highlights from statement of India Food Safety and Standards
Authority (FSSAI)
FSSAI has directed to Nestle for the following course of action given their findings:
Withdraw and recall all the nine approved variants of Maggi Instant Noodles
from the market and stop further production, processing, import, distribution
and sale of the product with immediate effect.
Remove of the “No added MSG” label from the existing packaging to comply

Key Takeaways from ConCall with Mr. Chandra Bushan, Centre
for Science and Environment (CSE)
We recently hosted Mr Chandra Bushan, Deputy Director General of Center for
Science and Environment, to discuss more on the “Ongoing probe of Harmful
substances in Packaged Foods”. Following are the key takeaways:
Four categories that food safety covers: a) Processed foods, b) agro chemicals
(pesticides in raw food commodities like rice, vegetables), c) proprietary foods
(energy drinks, energy boosters, malt beverages), and d) organic foods.
Indian regulatory regime not updated for processed foods. Maggi tests done on
standards that are 15 years old.

UP case:
Lead content found in Maggi, so the case should go to a logical
conclusion and Maggi should pay fine. This case could impact the brand image
of Maggi. Delhi has banned Maggi in schools.
Controversy like Maggi is just a beginning; regulators are looking for stricter
rules. Expect standards to come in for different products categories that claim
“use of a certain product results in increase in height” (malted beverages
segment).
Wholesale changes to be made in the next five years in domestic as well as
imported processed foods categories.
Bottled water standards in India are currently the best in the world.
