FSSAI declared a sample of Nestle low-fat dairy whitener unsafe and substandard after laboratory analysis.
The sample was collected from the Lalit hotel in New Delhi, and authorities ordered an immediate halt to its sale.
Nestle India disputed the finding and said the product is safe.
The company said the laboratory report compared total phosphorus with the added phosphorus limit without accounting for naturally occurring milk phosphorus.
Why it mattersRegulatory safety findings can affect product trust, recalls, and Nestle’s India reputation.
