Suspends licences of Sukhdarshan Pharma and Bala Ji Food Products
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India on Saturday said that it has issued notices to Nestlé India and Hindustan Unilever regarding misleading claims and non-compliances with regards to certain products. It has also suspended licences of Sukhdarshan Pharma and Bala Ji Food Products for serious food safety violations. This comes as recent inspections and audits have led to strict enforcement actions against several major brand manufacturers and local FBOs for misleading claims, non-compliance with labelling regulations, and severe food safety violations.
