Analogue paneer scrutiny puts food retailers’ labelling and sourcing controls in focus

Maharashtra and Gujarat action against analogue paneer has highlighted FSSAI labelling requirements. The paneer substitute is legal when clearly labelled, but selling it as traditional milk paneer raises consumer-transparency and food-retail compliance concerns.
