The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has penalised AWL Agri Business Ltd, maker of Fortune edible oils, for selling substandard fortified sunflower oil. A one-litre sample of Fortune 'Fryola' refined sunflower seed oil collected from a resort in Goa failed laboratory tests, with vitamin A and D levels below prescribed limits. The company’s appeal led to a retest that confirmed the vitamin D shortfall. FSSAI’s adjudication officer in Goa imposed a penalty; the amount has not been disclosed. This action is part of a broader FSSAI crackdown on food business operators. In recent weeks, the regulator has also barred Dabur India from selling products with unverifiable '100%' claims and flagged misleading labels on juice and ghee. Separately, food safety drives in Jammu and Kashmir resulted in 718 civil prosecutions and penalties totalling Rs 84.33 lakh.
