The Commissioner of Food Safety has issued notices to four firms for violation of provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, a press release informed on Saturday.
The firms Gemini Edibles and Fats Private Limited, Healthy Heart Foods, Hi-Tec Malto Max Foods of Himachal Pradesh, and Heinz India Private Limited, Mumbai, were issued notices allegedly for misleading advertisements about nutritional values in their food products.
False claims
The Gemini Edibles and Fats advertised about zero percent cholesterol in its Freedom Refined Sunflower Oil, while the Healthy Heart Foods claimed reduction of cholesterol through its Healthy Heart Refined Sunflower Oil. Hi-Tec Malto Max Foods claimed reduced cholesterol, improvement in digestion, low fat with stress relievers with ACTI lite, while Heinz India assured 34 vital nutrients, eight among them enriched in its Complan Memory, the press note said.
