What is analogue paneer, and why is FSSAI cracking down on it? | Explained
Analogue paneer refers to products that imitate traditional paneer but are made using non‑dairy ingredients or processing methods. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has created a specific “Analogue in Dairy Context” classification. Issues arise when manufacturers label these items as genuine paneer or other dairy foods, potentially misleading consumers or misrepresenting their nutritional profile.
