Notice Details
On April 10, 2026, Dabur India was issued an order by the Addl. District Magistrate, Almora, imposing a penalty of INR 4,00,000. The action stems from alleged contraventions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, specifically concerning the labelling of one of the company’s products.
