India’s food regulator FSSAI orders an immediate sale ban on Nestlé’s Low Fat Dairy Whitener after lab analysis of a sample described the product as “unsafe” and “substandard.” Multiple outlets report the sample was collected from a hotel in New Delhi and assessed through laboratory testing, leading to the regulator’s action.
The company contests the conclusion. NDTV reports Nestlé says the product meets applicable Food Safety and Standards (FSSR) limits, specifically regarding added phosphorus. Other coverage echoes the regulator’s characterization but does not always include the company’s technical rebuttal, focusing instead on the ban and the reported test outcome.
