India's food regulator files legal cases against Nestle over baby food sample and labels

On September 18, 2026, India's food regulator, FSSAI, announced that a sample of Nestle's follow-up formula baby food was substandard in biotin content and filed three adjudication cases against Nestle, including for misleading claims on two other products. Nestle India responded that its products are fully compliant and labels are supported by science. The action is part of a broader crackdown on India's food industry. Nestle's shares fell nearly 3% following the news.
