FSSAI named United Spirits, INBREW Beverages and other liquor producers in enforcement action over alleged prohibited additives, flavour blending and misleading age claims. Notices cover USL plants producing McDowell’s No.1 Rum, Antiquity Blue and Royal Challenge, with more Maharashtra action pending.
Why this matters
The notices add regulatory risk after United Spirits took a 10.08% stake in Nuvola Spirits, while a broker retained Reduce with a ₹1,330 target amid volume pressure and the company flagged pressure on value consumers.
