Giving details, the FSSAI said Livyor Ventures Pvt Ltd has withdrawn the misleading claim of ‘vegan & healthy’.

The company has submitted its reply with reference to regarding the misleading claims made on the label of the product “Livyor Roasted Edamame Beans”.

In its reply, the FBO has stated that the claims “vegan” and “healthy” were inadvertently printed on the product label due to a lack of awareness of the applicable regulatory requirements.

“The FBO has expressed regret for the lapse, apologised for the violation, and assured that such non-compliance will not be repeated in the future,” the regulator said.

Further, the FBO has informed that it has initiated the process of revising the product labels. The company is destroying the existing packaging material bearing the non-compliant claims to ensure that it is not used in the future.

Similarly, Honest Innovations For You Pvt Ltd and Heliostone Specialities Pvt Ltd have changed their misleading trade mark.

Rajasthan Agro and General Industries has complied with the notice and removed/deleted all misleading claims and has stopped utilising the PPM.

Iota Nanotechnology Pvt Ltd has removed misleading claims from the label and stopped production of non-standardised water.

Panchamurtha Industries Pvt Ltd has delisted the product (electrolyte drink) from its website.

During the last few months, the FSSAI has taken action against many FBOs for violations of law. It has also cracked down on energy drink makers and alcoholic beverage manufacturers.
