Agree. These ▮▮▮ should literally be ▮▮▮ for poisoning babies with sugar and harmful chemicals, while packaging it as health food. And these ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ don't do that in Europe!! But adults should also be careful. Take Maggi. It's complete toxic poison, especially the masala. Our mothers were wrong to give it to us as kids and we are wrong to continue having it.
I saw another post today where someone compared Australians Kit Kat with Indians Kit Kat. The Aussie Kit Kat has 1/4 coco, while the Indian Kit Kat has very little cocoa and is packed with sugar instead. I have had foreign Kit Kat and you can clearly tell the difference.
Under the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2019 you can refer to regulation 11 (1) ,which pertains to composition of baby food.
Under this regulations, reference is made to the term "traditional food". The same is defined under regulation 2(c) as
"“Food for infants based on traditional food ingredients” are products known to
be prepared traditionally at home for feeding infants, but processed and provided in
packaged forms, after six months up to twenty-four months of age".
Now any baby food that is marketed by any company, is prescribed after 6 months of the baby's birth.
What is important to note is that certain ingredients have been included into the defination by virtue of regulation 11.
By looking at the said regulations namely R.11(1) read with R.2(c), we get a clear picture as to what is traditional food and what does it constitute.
At this juncture, it is fruitful to observe Regulation 11(4) that stipulates a non-exhaustive list of the following ingredients
"(4) Explanatory note: A non-exhaustive examples of foods for infants based on
traditional foods are:
(a) Cooked lentils, cereals, dry fruits, grains mashed to a pasty form, sweetened
with sugar or jaggery or honey ;
(b) Cooked vegetables mashed to a pasty form either sweetened or with little ghee;
(c) Ragi malt mix;
(d) Semolina or sooji based foods with either milk or curd or ghee".
Hence, not only does the it means that the ingredient in question is not only complient with regulatory norms but also is within the confines of traditional food adopted by the subcontinent.
Ps not from Nestle or anything, just have interest in food sciences.

Yes. This is the same as selling cowdung as covid treatment when people were desperate and dying at the height of the pandemic, so your comparison is apt.
Why don't you stick to writing unsolicited emails asking for assessment internships that bear no fruit instead of spewing this garbage here.
In fact, Nestle is worse, because Ayurvedic quack remedies are placebos that don't kill you. These are always taken in addition to allopathic cancer remedies. But having chemicals and sugar in food can cause you a lot of harm and obesity is one of the causes of heart attacks.
Why is this the SCs job? The regulator (FSSAI) will have to act first if it is in violation of regulations. Even with ramdev it was the Indian Medical Council that took action and then approached SC after he didn't comply.
