印度的食品监管机构已向雀巢印度有限公司(Nestle India Ltd.)和印度斯坦联合利华有限公司(Hindustan Unilever Ltd.)发出通知,指控其对营养补充剂做出误导性宣传,此举扩大了其全国范围内的安全打击力度。

India’s food regulator has issued notices to Nestle India Ltd. and Hindustan Unilever Ltd. for allegedly making misleading claims regarding nutrition supplements, extending its nationwide safety crackdown.

根据印度食品安全标准局(Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)在社交媒体X上发布的一篇帖文,雀巢的“Resource Renal香草味粉末”本意是作为管理某种医疗状况的膳食补充剂,但该公司既未寻求事先批准,也未贴上标明该产品是否为素食的标签。

Nestle’s “resource renal vanilla flavour powder” was intended as a dietary supplement to manage a medical condition but the company neither sought prior approval nor displayed a label to indicate if the product was vegetarian or not-vegetarian, according to an X post by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.

监管机构还表示,印度斯坦联合利华的“好立克(Horlicks)母亲盈养乐(Mother's Plus Kesar)400克盒装”产品对“愉快的出生体重”做出了误导性宣传,而其“好立克女性盈养乐(Women's Plus)”产品则将“改善骨骼健康”、“健康的肌肉”、“无添加糖”列为益处。

The regulator also said Hindustan Unilever’s ‘Horlicks’s Mother’s Plus Kesar 400 g BIB’ made misleading claims over “happy birth weight”, while its ‘Horlicks Women’s Plus’ products listed “improves bone health”, “healthy muscles”, “no added sugar” as benefits.

监管机构表示,这两家公司均违反了相关规则,并已要求这些制造商作出回应。雀巢印度公司周日没有立即回应置评请求。

Both companies were in contravention of its rules, the regulator said, seeking responses from the manufacturers. Nestle India did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

印度斯坦联合利华在电邮回复中表示,其两款产品均符合所有适用的要求,并补充称将与有关部门分享“科学和监管证据”。

Hindustan Unilever said in an emailed response that its two products comply with all applicable requirements, adding that it will share “scientific and regulatory evidence” with the authorities.

在过去几个月里,印度的联邦食品监管机构已针对食品制造商、酒店、餐馆和电商平台因误导性标签、不当营销、运营非法单位以及不当食品储存做法采取了行动。在社交媒体出现针对产品标准低劣的投诉后,地方机构也加大了审查力度。

Over the past few months, India’s federal food regulator has initiated action against food manufacturers, hotels, restaurants, and e-commerce platforms over misleading labels, inappropriate marketing, running illegal units, and for improper food storage practices. Local agencies have also stepped up their scrutiny after social media complaints over poor product standards.

食品监管机构曾在9月份对雀巢印度公司采取法律行动,原因是其违反了婴儿营养营销规则且制造标准不达标。雀巢当时表示,其产品符合法规。

The food regulator had initiated legal action against Nestle India in September for breaching infant nutrition marketing rules and substandard manufacturing. Nestle said at the time that its products were compliant with regulations.
