FSSAI Issues Notices to Nestle India and Hindustan Unilever Over Misleading Product Claims
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued notices to major manufacturers, including Nestle India and Hindustan Unilever (HUL), over misleading claims and labelling violations on several products. FSSAI flagged inconsistent descriptions on coffee-flavoured milk beverages and questioned claims on HUL's Horlicks products related to bone health, muscle benefits, sugar content, and birth weight. Nestle's Resource Renal Vanilla powder was also cited for lacking prior approval and proper labelling. The regulator has directed responses and urged e-commerce platforms to act accordingly.
