FSSAI Flags Nestlé Dairy Whitener Sample
A sample of Nestlé India’s Low Fat Dairy Whitener collected at a New Delhi hotel was declared unsafe and substandard by FSSAI, prompting an order to stop its sale at the premises.
The FSSAI’s public announcement did not specify the particular parameter or defect responsible for classifying the tested sample as unsafe and substandard. The regulator’s findings and Nestlé’s response therefore remain distinct positions in a matter for which the company has said it is engaging with authorities through the established process.
The case highlights the role of food safety testing and regulatory oversight in monitoring packaged food products. Further clarification on the laboratory findings and the outcome of any appeal would help establish how the matter is resolved.
