Summary
India's food safety regulator has banned popular whiskies and rums from Diageo and Inbrew. The regulator found artificial flavours were used instead of proper ageing and ingredients. This action affects brands like Antiquity Blue and Royal Challenge whiskies. Three popular Old Monk rum variants also face a sales ban by the FSSAI. Companies are reportedly concerned about the regulator's recent order.
