FSSAI Bans Dabur From Selling Food Products With 'Misleading' 100% Claims
FSSAI bans Dabur from selling food products with misleading 100% claims.

Through the Reader lens — India's Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) has banned Dabur India Limited from selling food products that carry misleading '100 per cent' claims, citing violations of advertising regulations. The order targets specific product labeling and marketing that the regulator deems non-compliant with food advertising standards. Dabur, a major Indian FMCG company known for Ayurvedic and health products, is now prohibited from selling the affected items until the claims are corrected or removed. The coverage from NDTV and Hindustan Times is factual and neutral, with no company response or defense reported. Consumers who relied on the '100%' claims may reassess trust in Dabur's product labeling. The broader FMCG sector may face heightened regulatory scrutiny on advertising claims in the near term.
What to watch next
- Dabur must revise or remove '100%' claims on affected food products
- FSSAI may expand scrutiny to other FMCG brands' advertising claims
- Watch for Dabur's public response or corrective action plan
