Zomato Bans Analogue Dairy Products, Delists Non-Compliant Restaurants
Zomato has implemented a zero-tolerance policy banning analogue dairy products, such as analogue cheese and paneer, from its platform. This follows increased regulatory scrutiny by food safety authorities in Maharashtra, Delhi, and other states. Dishes declared to contain analogue dairy have been delisted immediately, and non-compliant restaurants risk removal. Zomato urges partners to switch to natural dairy or remove affected items, emphasizing transparency, accurate ingredient representation, and consumer health protection.
