Dabur Challenges FSSAI Ban on '100 Per Cent' Claims in Delhi High Court
Dabur India has challenged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) order banning the sale of several products labeled with "100 per cent" claims, including honey, ghee, and edible oils. The regulator cited these claims as ambiguous, unverifiable, and potentially misleading under the Food Safety and Standards (Advertising and Claims) Regulations, 2018. Dabur contends the order was issued without prior notice or hearing and questions FSSAI's authority to impose such a ban. The Delhi High Court is set to hear the case urgently.
