FSSAI issues notice to Dr Reddy's, Nestle Health Science

Taking to social media, the food regulator announced action against the companies for non-compliant advertising and claims for the product "CELEVIDA GLP " on e-commerce platforms. The regulator said that the claims printed on the pack, such as muscle strength, immunity support and energy metabolism, can potentially mislead consumers about the product and its health benefits.

According to the regulator, "the product was found to be advertised as 'high protein support for lean muscle preservation during GLP-1/GIP therapies', with claims associating its consumption with GLP-1/GIP therapies and preservation of lean muscle."
