The Delhi High Court on Friday stayed an FSSAI directive that barred Dabur India from selling products like honey and ghee with '100%' claims. Justice Amit Mahajan observed that the order was passed without giving the company a hearing, noting Dabur had sold these items for decades. The court listed the matter for hearing after two weeks. Dabur argued the FSSAI violated principles of natural justice by not issuing a show-cause notice first. The regulator countered that '100%' claims are ambiguous and misleading under the 2018 Advertising and Claims Regulations. The court declined the government's request to deny interim relief.
