Food safety regulators in India report that a sample of Nestlé India’s low-fat dairy whitener is “unsafe” and “substandard.” According to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), laboratory testing finds the product does not comply with requirements under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
FSSAI’s analysis is tied to a specific collection location: the sample was taken from Hotel Lalit in Connaught Place, New Delhi, which is run by Bharat Hotels Ltd. Across outlets, the core finding is that the product is non-compliant based on the food analyst’s report, using the same “unsafe/substandard” language. Reports also state that Bharat Hotels Ltd receives regulatory action after the result, including a notice and direction to halt the sale of the product pending compliance.
While the outlets vary slightly in phrasing, they consistently describe the same sequence: FSSAI collects a sample from the hotel, laboratory testing labels it unsafe and substandard for legal compliance, and the operator is issued a notice and told to stop selling.
