  "account": "The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has announced that numerous food companies, including Mondelez India and Amway India, have withdrawn misleading claims on their product labels following regulatory notices. In a social media post, the FSSAI stated that major food business operators (FBOs) have complied with the regulator's directives and taken prompt corrective action, including withdrawing misleading label claims and revising product packaging.\n\nRegarding Mondelez India Foods Pvt Ltd, the FSSAI found that the company had used misleading health claims and nutrient comparative claims. In response to the notice, Mondelez India has withdrawn these claims and removed the advertisements from e-commerce platforms, ensuring compliance with the FSSAI's regulations. Additionally, Sapiens Labs has also withdrawn all misleading claims and advertisements.\n\nThe FSSAI also noted that Vichi Agro Products Pvt Ltd received a notice for using a misleading trade name. Following the regulator's notice, Flipkart, the e-commerce platform, delisted the product in question. Amway India Enterprises was found to be in violation of the law for using the misleading term \"100% Pure Coconut Oil\" in its product name. Amway India voluntarily removed the term \"100%\" from its product packaging and promotional materials, confirming that old stock has been discontinued from sales channels.\n\nAmway India Enterprises has also discontinued the term \"Energy Drink\" on its XS product range. The updated packaging will commence from the next production cycle, which is set to start in August 2026. Furthermore, Amway India has requested a permit for the sale and distribution of existing market stock bearing the current artwork (including the term \"Energy Drink\") until that inventory is fully exhausted.",
