I have found two types of fake Maggie packets being sold in my city so I am warning members to beware.The difference can be made out by looking at the spice packets which are different.
I can just get one now,one vendor sells a fake maggie packet just near my house.
Can someone clarify if i am wrong.
The difference can also be made out after looking at quality of maggie in its original state.

I think you should send the fake packets (the wrapping of course, since you already ate what was inside :)) ) to Maggi with details where you bought and when. Only they can tell.

I can't give personal info due to security reasons.
But I am pretty sure this racket is going on in the whole of India.

eating maggi occassionally is OK.regular Maggi eaters contribute to the prolifiration of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide in atmosphere and their rooms.who makes the neighbors flew off.:D;)

By the way how is maggi spelled in the duplicated packets? Maggie?
Rollercoaster
Sep 28, 2007 at 4:20 PM
r u sure it is fake. there r new packings all the time to keep the product looking fresh and attractive.

but if it really is fake then that is bad news for noodles lovers like me. best would be buy only from reliable and known shopkeepers...

I went to the market even in flood and brought two maggi packets.
I couldn't source the ones which had extremely long spice packets.A vendor sold them just near my house and i could easily make out that it was a fake.
These are the significant differences u'll find between fake and real-
Sorry for the image quality but I don't have a digi-cam nor am i allowed to use my fathers phone.


1. Fake maggi has a slightly different maggi spice packet from the original,sometimes the spice packet is huge.
2. Fake maggi has slightly dull color compared to original.

Both maggi packets i bought from two different vendors-

The maggi is somewhat dull in colour-

The spice packet
*img406.imageshack.us/img406/106/spicepacket2jl3.jpg

I would like to repeat that i could not find the maggi which had the real big spice packet.
Also to buy the original i would have to go to the super market.
I have seen that some vendors near my house who sold real maggi packets have also started selling fake maggi packets.But i think they are innocent.

my suggestion is don't eat maggi at all it sucks top ramen's curry are the best have been eating them for a long time and never hv got tired of the flavor

Sep 28, 2007 at 9:11 PM
top ramen is surely better than maggie.

Have any of you tasted the Dal Atta Noodles from Maggi? Yuck! <pukes on the floor> Absolutely disgusting. Just made me puke all over the floor. Nothing could be worse than that. Not even fake maggi.

Btw the veggie atta one is the best. Top ramen curry is also excellent, but its only available in either 1, 3 or the extra large pack. I usually eat two together. They don't sell two walla pack.

Also if you ever make a Maggi Club, then i want to be in it. Have it atleast twice a week. Every week.
