United Spirits contests FSSAI flavouring order, petitions Bombay High Court
Diageo-owned United Spirits has moved the Bombay High Court against an FSSAI order concerning McDowell's No. 1 Rum manufactured at its Baramati plant. FSSAI barred the sale of certain rum and whisky products, saying flavouring agents cannot replicate the taste of regular spirits. United Spirits says its product labels comply with Indian regulations and long-standing industry practice.
