Two nutraceutical companies named Watawe Healthcare and Global Healthfit Retail India Private Limited have been targeted by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This was due to their involvement in misrepresentation and rule violation.

On Thursday, FSSAI informed via its online media post that the company's Follineuro Syrup and True Vitamin, respectively, are banned products. Nutraceutical comes from two words - nutrification and pharmaceutical.

Nutraceuticals are food products that can prevent or cure some diseases. FSSAI has banned Watawe Healthcare to manufacture, stock, distribute, and selling Follineuro Syrup.

According to FSSAI, the word "Neuro" in the product name and the image of a brain on the packaging convey the impression that the syrup helps improve brain or nervous system function. Such claims mislead consumers and violate the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

FSSAI stated that the sale of Global Healthfit Retail India Pvt. Ltd.'s product, Nuherbs True Vitamins, has also been suspended. According to FSSAI, the use of the word "True Vitamins" in the product name may mislead consumers. The company has been asked to submit a detailed action taken report (ATR) within 30 days from the date of this notice.
