Mislabeling in Indian Branded Health Foods: Case Study with Immunity Booster Food and Protein Supplement
Abstract: One of the most recent risks to livelihood security is food "mislabeling". Mislabeling occurs when the label on the packaging does not convey the true character of the product with respect to quality, components, nutritional values and health advantages. Mislabeling includes modifying the original recipe, substituting a component, omitting required warning words, and concealing the presence of certain potentially dangerous ingredients. Purposeful mislabeling is done for financial advantage, whereas inadvertent …
