Tamil Nadu Lifts Temporary Ban on 11 Liquor Brands; MP Court Stays FSSAI Ban on Whisky and Rum
Tamil Nadu's Prohibition and Excise Department revoked a temporary ban on 11 liquor brands sold by TASMAC after the manufacturer, Enrica Enterprises, assured compliance following an FSSAI inspection that found non-compliant labeling and artificial flavoring substances. The ban, imposed on August 11, was lifted on August 14 with an improvement notice issued. Separately, the Madhya Pradesh High Court stayed an FSSAI ban on pre-packaged whisky and rum from a Khargone-based firm, citing procedural concerns and pending further hearings.
