FSSAI Cracks Down on Nestlé’s Baby Nutrition Products
What Happened
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has initiated three legal cases against Nestlé India over alleged violations involving infant nutrition products, including NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1. The regulator flagged promotional claims on the products and said a follow-up formula sample failed to meet prescribed biotin standards during lab testing. Nestlé shares fell about 2% after the announcement.
Key Takeaways
The action signals tighter scrutiny of baby food products and health claims in India. It also serves as a reminder that food companies face increasing regulatory pressure to ensure both product quality and marketing practices comply with safety rules.
