FSSAI Flags Nestlé Infant Product Over Low Biotin | Vitamin B7 | Current Affairs 2026

In this Current Affairs MCQ, learn about the recent FSSAI action involving Nestlé India’s infant nutrition products.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) initiated legal action against Nestlé India in September 2026 over three separate matters involving infant nutrition products. One of the cases concerned a follow-up formula sample that was found to be substandard with respect to its biotin content.

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is a water-soluble B vitamin. According to FSSAI, laboratory analysis found that the sample did not conform to the prescribed biotin requirement under the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2020. A referral laboratory also found the sample to be non-conforming after re-analysis.

The other two cases involved promotional claims associated with NAN Excella Pro Stage 1 and Lactogen Pro 1. Nestlé India has stated that its products and labels comply with applicable regulations and that it is cooperating with the authorities.

Question: FSSAI flagged certain Nestlé infant products as substandard due to improper levels of which nutrient?

Answer: Biotin (Vitamin B7)
