New Delhi: Food regulator FSSAI on Tuesday said that many food companies, including Mondelez India and Amway India, have withdrawn misleading claims on product labels following notices issued by the authority.
In a social media post, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said that "major food business operators (FBOs) have taken prompt corrective action" following notices issued by the regulator.
The corrective measures include withdrawal of misleading label claims and revisions to product packaging.
In the case of Mondelez India Foods Pvt Ltd, the FSSAI said it had found misleading health claims and nutrient comparative claims.
After its notice, Mondelez withdrew the claims and advertisements from e-commerce platforms and ensured compliance, the regulator said.
Sapiens Labs too has withdrawn all misleading claims and advertisements. Juza Foods of Kerala has also removed misleading claims.
In the case of Vichi Agro Products Pvt Ltd, FSSAI had issued a notice for a misleading trade name.
"Response from Flipkart was received, wherein the FBO mentioned that he has delisted the product from his platform," the regulator said.
The FSSAI said that Amway India Enterprises was found violating the law and using the misleading term '100%' in the name of its product, '100% Pure Coconut Oil'.
Amway India submitted a compliance response confirming that it has voluntarily removed the term '100%' from its product packaging and promotional materials in accordance with the FSSAI advisory and confirmed that old stock has been discontinued from sales channels.
Amway India Enterprises has also discontinued the term 'Energy Drink' on its XS product range.
The updated packaging will take effect from the next production cycle in August 2026.
FSSAI informed that Amway has requested a permit for the sale and distribution of existing market stock bearing the current artwork, which includes the word 'Energy Drink', until that inventory is fully exhausted.
