FSSAI's Labeling Crackdown Draws Support and Legal Challenges from Food Firms
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has recently enforced stricter regulations on packaged food and beverage labeling, targeting claims such as '100 per cent' purity. Britannia Industries' managing director Rakshit Hargave supports the crackdown as beneficial for consumers, while Dabur India has challenged the restrictions in court, alleging unfair treatment and procedural lapses. The Delhi High Court has temporarily stayed FSSAI's order, allowing Dabur relief until August 24 as the dispute continues.
