The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has initiated action against several popular liquor brands, including select variants of Old Monk and products sold by major manufacturers, citing concerns over labelling and manufacturing compliance. The regulator alleges that some products contained artificial or nature-identical flavouring and did not meet prescribed labelling standards, while inspections and notices have also been issued to additional manufacturers.

Food safety inspections at 26 three-star and five-star hotels across Bengaluru Urban have raised questions over compliance with food safety and hygiene standards. The Karnataka Food Safety and Drug Administration Department deployed 30 teams and collected 35 samples of meat, milk, fish, spices, oil and other food products for laboratory testing.

Misleading labelling, usage of cheap oil, high sugar, high sodium food products, sugar products without adequate labelling, low entry barrier to enter food business, Indians valuing taste and cost more than health and most important, an informal economy have all contributed to this crisis. 🥫🍲
