The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) declared a sample of Nestle's 'Low Fat Dairy Whitener' collected from The Lalit Hotel in Delhi as 'unsafe' and 'substandard', and instructed the hotel to immediately stop its sales.
FSSAI filed three separate adjudication cases against Nestlé India because its infant nutrition products, including NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1, violated regulations restricting promotional claims and exhibited inadequate biotin levels in laboratory tests.
Nestlé India stated that its products comply with all applicable regulations, noting that their labels and products were previously approved by an FSSAI expert committee and that their statements are supported by scientific literature.
