The Delhi High Court asks the Centre and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to respond to a company’s plea challenging action related to “Fortune Soya Health Refined Soyabean Oil.” The request comes in response to claims made by AWL Agri Business Limited, which argues that the regulatory action amounts to a prohibition affecting the product’s sale.
According to filings mentioned by both outlets, the dispute centers on packaging statements attributed to the product. The company challenges FSSAI’s action on two claims on the label: “100% Veg” and “Cholesterol Free – For Healthy Lifestyle.” Business Line also notes that the matter is linked to allegations of misleading labeling and says the FSSAI-linked developments have created disruption in the market.
The outlets differ slightly in emphasis—The Hindu focuses on the specific label claims being contested, while Business Line also highlights the broader market impact—but both agree the court is seeking explanations from the Centre and FSSAI before proceeding further.
