How to prevent DMOZ data displaying in search engine results

Question

When I look up my website in Google, everything looks fine in the result page, except for a little grey title/description next to my domain name (screenshot below) that is being generated from DMOZ. All other elements are being generated correctly with the page title, description on my website though.

NOODP meta tag below is added to every page including the home page but DMOZ tag is still showing in search results. How to prevent this?

<meta name="robots" content="noodp">

One source Google uses to generate snippets is the Open Directory Project. You can direct us not to use this as a source by adding a meta tag to your pages.

To prevent all search engines (that support the meta tag) from using this information for the page's description, use the following:

`meta name=" googlebot" content="NOODP, nofollow"

Note that once you add this meta tag to your pages, it may take some time for changes to your snippets to appear in the index.
