New Delhi, August 22

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Thursday directed food businesses, including e-commerce players, to remove claims of ‘A1’ and ‘A2’ types of milk and milk products from packaging, calling such labelling misleading.

The food safety regulator said these claims do not conform with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The FSSAI said it had examined the issue and found that A1 and A2 differentiation is linked to the structure of beta-casein protein in milk.
