Support also came pouring out for celebrities who endorsed the brand as news spread about brand ambassadors of the noodle brand, which include stars Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, and Preity Zinta, may face action if found misleading consumers.
Trends like #MaggiInSoup, #MaggiBan, #MaggiInHotWater have been doing the rounds of the social networking site as more developments continue to come in.
Bollywood actress and former endorser of Maggi Noodles, Priety Zinta tweeted on Wednesday to express her shock over the issue.
Reading the news about me being sued for doing the Maggie commercial over 12 years ago ? 12 years ago ? How does that happen ?

More than the celebrities advertising for Maggie the departments passing that to match the food safety standards are responsible.
