The HC issued a notice to FSSAI on the company’s petition challenging the prohibition
NEW DELHI: Delhi high court on Friday stayed an FSSAI directive prohibiting Dabur India from selling food products such as honey, cow ghee and edible oils with “100%” claims.Justice Amit Mahajan noted that Dabur was selling the products for decades and had shown a prima facie case for relief at this stage, as the FSSAI issued the order without granting a hearing to the company.The HC issued notice to FSSAI on Dabur’s petition challenging the prohibition and asked it to file its reply before the next date, while listing the matter for hearing on Aug 24.Dabur argued that the FSSAI order was in violation of principles of natural justice. It also submitted that the expression “100%” is used by many players.
