FSSAI makes U-turn, revokes order against Enrica products
On Thursday, the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) notified its shops to cease selling 11 liquor products from Enrica Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, following an FSSAI inspection that detected natural and artificial flavoring substances in the items. However, the following day, on Friday, R. Gajalakshmi, Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, issued a notice revoking the earlier prohibition.
A FSSAI spokesperson revealed that the company had appealed against the ban and pledged compliance with regulations. Consequently, the prohibition was lifted, and an improvement notice was given to the firm. The authorities have granted the company a 30-day window to rectify the issue; should they fail to do so, further action may be taken.
The FSSAI had previously written on August 11, ordering an immediate halt to sales due to the presence of artificial flavoring substances. The affected products include various brands of brandy and rum, such as VSOP Exshaw Gold, Louis Vernant XO, McDowells VSOP, Enrica VSOP Select, Enrica Platinum Reserve, and Enrica Old Indie Classic Dark Rum.
