The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) initiates enforcement action against Bengaluru-based British LifeSciences Private Limited after an inspection finds misbranded and expired infant food products. FSSAI says officials seized the items under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and begins legal proceedings against the food business operator.
FSSAI characterizes the action as part of broader efforts to strengthen safety, quality, and labelling compliance for foods meant for infants and young children, citing the heightened vulnerability of this group to unsafe or incorrectly labelled products. Multiple outlets report that about 3.7 metric tonnes of expired infant food are ordered destroyed, with disposal carried out safely to prevent reuse or diversion back into the supply chain.
While the core facts are consistent across reports, the outlets vary in emphasis: Free Press Journal and The Hindu focus on the seizure and legal steps, while Times of India adds that the enforcement activity sits within wider food safety scrutiny that includes sample collection and testing in other settings.
