FSSAI Considers Nationwide Ban on Analogue Paneer Amid Food Safety Crackdown
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is considering a nationwide ban on analogue paneer, a product made with vegetable oils and additives, pending a consensus from states in a meeting scheduled for September 24. Several states have already banned analogue paneer amid concerns over food adulteration. FSSAI has intensified inspections, issuing over 100,000 notices and suspending around 5,000 licenses for food safety violations. The agency also advises consumers to choose hygienic restaurants and verify food authenticity, emphasizing home-cooked meals as safest.
