FSSAI issues show-cause notices to Zepto and food brands

India's FSSAI sent show-cause notices to quick commerce firm Zepto and brands BMS Lifescience, HealthyHey Foods and Bakelite Food Processing. The Zepto notice followed a complaint about expired besan, while the brands face allegations of misleading labelling and advertising. They risk licence suspension and penalties.

• Zepto must submit order logs, seller and warehouse data
• BMS Lifescience sold capsules under an expired FSSAI certificate
• HealthyHey listed different ingredients on its site and Flipkart
• Bakelite's 'creamy' roll contains no cream, only vegetable fat
