Dabur has challenged FSSAI’s order stopping sales of food products carrying absolute “100%” claims. The FMCG company says it has begun transitioning labels and ads, with impact limited to the objected products; FSSAI seeks an action-taken report within 15 days.

Why this matters

The case extends Dabur’s recent challenges to FSSAI curbs on “100 per cent” claims for honey and ghee and on “100% pure” food labels, highlighting regulatory pressure on its product communication.
