India’s Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) issues notices to Nestlé India and Hindustan Unilever (HUL), citing alleged violations related to product claims and non-compliance. Multiple outlets report that the regulator has flagged specific products and raised concerns around how they are presented to consumers, including issues connected to labelling and other regulatory requirements.
NDTV and Mint say HUL is directed to show cause and provide a response within a set time frame. The Economic Times reports that both companies are facing FSSAI notices, framing the development as part of the regulator’s enforcement activity. Business Line’s Home page additionally mentions the suspension of licences for two other firms—Sukhdarshan Pharma and Bala Ji Food Products—suggesting wider compliance actions beyond the two consumer-goods companies. The outlets do not indicate final outcomes for Nestlé or HUL, and the notices imply an ongoing process pending replies and any subsequent decisions by FSSAI.
