“Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) vide its order dated January 13, 2025 (received on January 16, 2025), has directed Patanjali Foods Limited to initiate recall of the entire batch of implicated food (i.e. “Red Chilli Powder (packed)” of Batch No. – AJD2400012”, the company stated in the exchange filing.
