The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued over 150 notices to major food and beverage companies including Nestle India, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola India for misleading advertisements, false claims and labelling violations over recent months, the regulator announced on Saturday.
The list also includes Red Bull India, Mondelez India, Abbott India, Danone India, Ferrero India, Monster Energy India, Diageo, Pernod Ricard and Kenvue Inc. FSSAI said it has seized products from some companies and suspended five Domino's licences. It sent 12 notices to Amazon and Flipkart and cancelled one Amazon warehouse licence. More than 30 notices went to food-service outlets including KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee.
FSSAI said companies have begun taking corrective actions after the notices.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The FSSAI crackdown coverage is unusually uniform: both sources report the same 150-plus notices to major brands without any government-critical or industry-defensive framing. The Economic Times version is a pure wire-service bulletin, while Times Now adds explanatory context for consumers but does not contest or praise the regulator's action. The middle-ground takeaway is that this is a straightforward enforcement update with no dispute over the facts. The real story to watch is whether the corrective actions FSSAI says companies have begun will satisfy the regulator before any fines or suspensions escalate.
