FSSAI to ban sale of analogue paneer, targets e-commerce platforms

The record

Written by software from the 1 report below. The points restate them; where one says why it matters, that is Prism's reading, not a reported fact.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India issued a draft amendment to food safety regulations to stop the sale of artificial paneer made from vegetable oils and starches as genuine dairy products.
Companies and e-commerce platforms are now prohibited from using the word 'paneer' on product labels or marketing materials for non-dairy alternatives.
The regulator has also initiated legal action against several online delivery platforms for misleading claims and selling prohibited items.
This move aims to prevent consumer deception by clearly distinguishing between dairy and non-dairy products.
