" &quot;Till date the company (Nestle) is only furnishing their day-to-day recall saying by now they have recalled 471 tonnes of Maggi from Gujarat,&quot; he said.The Maharashtra government has decided not to approach the Supreme Court challenging a Bombay High Court order on August 13 lifting the countrywide ban on Maggi. A decision in this regard has been reached at the top echelons of the state and accordingly conveyed to the state’s food and civil supplies minister Girish Bapat. Sources in the government said that the state was embarrassed when Bapat last week declared that Maggi was harmful and the state would challenge the Bombay High Court order in the apex court.“Samples of Maggi are being sent for tests at private labs. We should act on the basis of those reports. So there is no need to approach the Supreme Court. We will accept the findings of these labs which are approved by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL),” said a top state government official.He added that the state government’s move not to approach the Supreme Court was justified as the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) has already given a clean chit to Maggi based on the test reports of the samples sent by the Goa FDA.Government officials told ET that Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was not happy with Bapat’s declaration of challenging the high court order and told the minister that the state should not go in appeal. Many in the government felt that Bapat had jumped the gun with the decision to approach the Supreme Court, especially when three labs are testing Maggi samples as per the Bombay High Court order.“We will go by the state government’s orders,” said Maharashtra FDA commissioner Harshadeep Kamble.
