Overview
- FSSAI, which announced the enforcement on Saturday, has issued over 150 notices to major food and beverage companies, naming firms such as Nestle India, PepsiCo and Coca‑Cola India.
- The drive reaches beyond manufacturers to online and retail channels with 12 notices to Amazon and Flipkart, cancellation of one Amazon warehouse licence and more than 30 notices to foodservice outlets.
- FSSAI has suspended five Domino’s licences and suspended Marche Retail’s licence for 30 days after inspections found failures in facility design, sanitation, staff hygiene and training.
- The regulator issued a prohibition order against Daman‑based SDP Industries after lab tests, including referral‑lab confirmation, detected beta‑sitosterol and non‑conforming fatty‑acid profiles in multiple ghee products.
- Firms are reported to be taking corrective steps but FSSAI has signalled continued follow‑up inspections and possible further penalties if non‑compliance is not remedied, a move that could change labelling and advertising practices across the sector.
