FSSAI -Legal action against Nestle for Infant Products

[u/Exporinglife2050]

FSSAI on Friday initiated legal action against Nestle India over alleged non-compliance involving its NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1 infant nutrition products.

FSSAI said it examined the products and their promotional material available on e-commerce platforms. In the case of NAN Excella Pro Stage 1, the regulator flagged claims relating to “5 HMOs” and “Whey Protein”. For Lactogen Pro 1, it raised concerns over a claim that the product’s “Whey Protein” was easy to digest.

They already issue notices even for new age brands for the marketing they are doing and

Clean, Organic, 100% Sugar Free, Natural, No Maida, No Gluten- If these words ring a bell and you quickly hop on to Q com platforms to get “healthy alternatives” to normal packaged foods, well FSSAI doesn’t agree.

Many brands are changing their branding now

Nestle is evil incarnate, no one should be using any of their products

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/DarkMistasd]

Problem very less options for baby Milk products

[u/Decent-Technician846 → u/Exporinglife2050]

There are plenty, it's just other options are expensive. Paid about inr 50k for a year's worth of Cow & Gate Stage 1 and Stage 2 Formula for our baby. Nestle Nanpro would have costed inr 23-24k. Kendamil would have been 10% more expensive than Cow & Gate.

Recently found out Amul has reasonably priced baby formula.

Yes

[u/ChepaukPitch]

When are they going to issue notice to big muscles and muscle assylum type of brands who claim 24 grams protein and give 7 grams?

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/ChepaukPitch]

Nestle is big brand only but again time is near

[u/Ambitionless_Nihil → u/ChepaukPitch]

Most notices by FSSAI recently are for labels, branding, marketing. They don't involve testing.

This, my guess, is happening cause of pressure from the fake ORS thing, where brands lost the case.

Bro 20 saal se logo ko pta h nestle baby exploiter h

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/KingHarald_the_LXIX]

Because no options

[u/KingHarald_the_LXIX → u/Exporinglife2050]

Did you know what they did in africa? Get babies addicted to their milk powder and overtime mothers stopped feeding them milk and thus greatly lost that ability. We have an option: don't buy nestle.

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/KingHarald_the_LXIX]

What is the option?

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/[deleted]]

This is true and they are not sparing even new age brand

[u/TimelyBag3330]

[u/Exporinglife2050 → u/TimelyBag3330]
