Genuine question: What does CBI do with this money they seized? There is almost no news about what they do with it.

Same as what the income tax department does. Distribute it amongst top-rung and mid-rung officers.

You can't even get a promotion easily if you don't take bribes in income tax dept. Pretty sad imo for the honest ones.

Nestlé’s baby food brands including Cerelac and Nido added sugar in the form of sucrose, in lower and lower-middle income countries including India — but not in the products sold in Europe or UK, according to a report by Swiss investigative organisation Public Eye and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN).

The research was conducted at a lab in Belgium, and examined Nestlé’s baby food products from Asia, and Africa branded as Cerelac, Nido, Mucilon and Dancow. These contained an average of 3 grams per serving, and in some cases up to 6 grams. Similar products tested in the European markets showed no added sugar. A Nestlé India spokesperson has attested that the company has reduced the sugar content in the baby product portfolio by 30% over the past five years, NDTV reported. In 2022, the sales on these products exceeded Rs.20,000 crore in India alone.

Nestlé has been under the scanner in the past for similar violations in several African countries. Reports from the 1970s raised the alarms on their unethical marketing practices in an effort to push artificial feeding over breastfeeding.

Why would an govt authority allow more pesticides into food? Especially when our spices are ridiculed in international markets for such things and our protein powders have pesticides in them.

Is FSSAI truly a joke?

FSSAI allows 10 times more pesticide in spices. Are we doomed?

Software Engineer

Earlier Maggi then Johnson’s baby powder, Bournvita, Ceralac now MDH & Everest spices. Every brand chooses India for lower quality harmful products.

Cancer-causing substances found in some MDH and Everest products by authorities in HK and Singapore. Meanwhile in India, nothing.
