FSSAI Issues Notices to Companies Over Misleading Protein and Health Claims
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued notices to Dr Reddy's, Nestle Health Science, Tirupati Wellness, Amazon, Flipkart, and Netmeds over allegedly misleading health claims on products marketed for protein support, muscle strength, immunity, and energy metabolism. The regulator stated these claims, presented on product packaging and advertisements, could mislead consumers about the products' benefits. The companies have been asked to explain why regulatory action should not be taken against them as scrutiny of such health-related claims increases.
