Delhi High Court seeks FSSAI stand on PIL against non-dairy, analogous 'paneer'
The Delhi High Court has asked the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to respond to a public interest litigation concerning non‑dairy products marketed as ‘paneer’. Petitioners argue that traditional paneer is a regulated dairy item, whereas the plant‑based analogue contains no milk and does not provide equivalent nutritional value. The court seeks the regulator’s official position.
