Patanjali fined for misleading advertisements
For “misbranding and putting up misleading advertisements” of their products, a local court in Haridwar has slapped Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved’s five production units with a fine of Rs 11 lakhs.
Patanjali Ayurved was found guilty of misbranding as the products being shown by the company as produced at its own units were in fact manufactured somewhere else, the court said.
This is not the first time for Patanjali to face the court cases. Earlier, in 2012, District Food Safety Department filed a case against the company, after samples of mustard oil, salt, pineapple jam, besan and honey produced by Patanjali had failed quality tests at Rudrapur laboratory.
The products were found to be in violation of sections 52-53 of Food Security norms and section 23.1 (5) of Food safety and Standard (packaging and labeling) regulation.
