FSSAI issues show-cause notices to Zepto and several food brands
Why it matters for readers: If you buy food online, this highlights why checking expiry dates and product labels matters, and that regulators act on complaints.
- Zepto received a show-cause notice after a social-media consumer complaint alleging delivery of expired besan (gram flour).1
- FSSAI asked Zepto for order logs, seller details, warehouse tracking, root-cause analysis, and proof of stock withdrawal and customer refunds.1
- Nutraceutical brands BMS Lifescience and HealthyHey Foods, and bakery brand Bakelite Food Processing, also received notices for misleading labelling and advertising.1
- Bakelite’s parent, Malpani Foods, was cited for marketing a product as ‘creamy’ despite it containing no dairy-based cream, using hydrogenated vegetable fat and margarine instead.1
