The agency identified the fault during an investigation trigerred in the wake of a recent food safety scare in the country.
The Yippee noodles samples collected from a local mall in Aligarh in June were found to contain excessive lead levels.
These samples were tested at a laboratory in Lucknow and Meerut, reported Press Trust of India.
