FSSAI Prohibits Dabur from Selling Products with Misleading '100 Percent' Claims
India's food regulator FSSAI has prohibited Dabur India from selling several products, including honey, cow ghee, and edible oils, that carry misleading '100 per cent' claims such as '100 Natural' and '100 Organic'. The regulator found these claims ambiguous, unverifiable, and likely to mislead consumers, also noting unauthorized use of the Jaivik Bharat organic logo. Despite prior notices, Dabur did not take satisfactory corrective action. FSSAI has directed Dabur to stop sales of these products immediately and submit an action report within 15 days.
