Nestle India moves Bombay high court to challenge Maggi ban

Nestle also raises issues of interpretation of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2011

Mumbai:Nestle India Ltd on Thursday filed a case in the Bombay high court for a review of orders passed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) banning the sale, distribution and production of Maggi noodles.

The company has also raised issues of interpretation of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2011.
On 5 June, FSSAI asked Nestle India to “stop further production, processing, import, distribution and sale” of all nine variants of Maggi with immediate effect as they had been found unsafe for human consumption.

According to FSSAI, the three major violations are the presence of lead in the product in excess of the maximum permissible levels of 2.5 parts per million (ppm); misleading labelling information on the package reading ‘No added MSG’ (monosodium glutamate); and release of a non-standardized food product in the market, Maggi Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker, without risk assessment and grant of product approval.

Following the reports of high content of lead in Maggi and mislabelling of the product which tested positive for MSG, FDA Maharashtra conducted its own tests and banned the sale of Maggi in the state on 6 June.

Nestle India has approached the Bombay HC as part of the effort to resolve the Maggi noodles issue, the company said in a statement to the BSE and added that it will continue the withdrawal of Maggi noodles products. “This action will not interfere with the process,” the statement said.

Further steps will be taken as per orders that may be passed by the Bombay High Court, the company said. The controversy surfaced in April when the Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration said, after conducting tests, that Nestle’s Maggi noodles contained lead beyond permissible limits and MSG. The government has also dragged Nestle to the consumer court for “unfair trade practices and misleading advertisements”.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Singapore cleared sales of Maggi noodles imported from India after its own tests.

Nestle India has pegged the stock of its embroiled-in-controversy Maggi brand to be in the region of approximately Rs 320 crore.

The company has said that Maggi noodles stock worth Rs 210 crore was being withdrawn from the Indian market and destroyed. Additionally, Rs 110 crore worth of finished and related material stocks of Maggi remained at Nestle India’s factories and distribution centres.

In a statement, the company said, “These are broad estimates because it is impossible to calculate the final figure while the withdrawal is taking place. There will be additional costs to take into account, for example bringing stock from the market, transporting the stock to the destruction points, destruction costs etc.”

Nestle India will come up with the final figure at a later date.

As was reported earlier by Indiantelevision.com, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had ordered Nestle to withdraw Maggi noodles after some of its samples were found to contain more than permissible levels of lead.

However, even as the company withdraws the brand from the market, it moved the Bombay High Court, challenging FSSAI’s order. The court will hear the matter on 30 June.

The company added that above mentioned cost and other unforeseen costs associated with the withdrawal of Maggi noodles from across India, will be dealt with the applicable accounting standards when Nestle India will announce its financial results on the due date.
