Digital Desk | Ambaji (Gujarat), Oct 11 (IANS) Ambaji temples traditional 'Mohanthal' prasad has received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, providing legal protection for its name and helping preserve its traditional identity and preparation. The official certificate was presented to the Shree Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust at a ceremony held at Chachar Chowk in Ambaji on the first day of Navratri. The certificate was issued on October 1, following an application by the temple trust and completion of the prescribed statutory procedures. The ceremony was chaired by Prof. Dr Unnat Pandit, Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks and Registrar of Geographical Indications, in the presence of Banaskantha District Collector Mihir Patel and other officials. Speaking at the event, Pandit stressed the importance of preserving the original identity and quality of traditional products. The GI tag would help ensure that devotees visiting Ambaji receive authentic Mohanthal prasad, he said. He also highlighted the role of the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, which has established a dedicated GI store to promote and sell GI-tagged products. The store displays products from different parts of the country, helping preserve their traditional identities while improving their marketability. Pandit said the recognition honoured not only the distinctive identity of Ambajis Mohanthal but also the faith of millions of devotees in Ma Jagdamba and the regions spiritual heritage. The GI tag would provide legal protection against unauthorised use and duplication of the name, while supporting the preservation of the prasads traditional preparation, he said. With the recognition, Ambajis Mohanthal joins other well-known Indian religious offerings that have received GI tags, including Tirupati Laddu and Palani Panchamirtham. Kaushik Modi, administrator of the Ambaji temple and additional collector, delivered the address, outlining the significance of the GI tag and the efforts made by the temple trust to secure the recognition. The ceremony was attended by officials of the Confederation of Indian Industrys (CII) Gujarat Task Force on Intellectual Property, representatives of collaborating organisations, members of the temple trust, trust officials and employees, and devotees.

FSSAI issues notices to Dr Reddys, Nestle Health Science, Amazon, Flipkart over health claims
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Thursday said that it has issued notices to Dr Reddys, Nestle Health Science, Tirupati Wellness, Amazon, Flipkart and Netmeds over allegedly misleading health claims made in connection with products marketed for protein support and maintaining lean muscle mass. In a social media post on Instagram, the food safety regulator said the companies had been asked to explain why regulatory action should not be initiated against them over the claims made for the products. According to FSSAI, the products carried claims related to high protein content, maintenance of lean muscle mass, muscle strength, immunity support and energy metabolism. The regulator said such claims were presented on product packaging in a manner that could potentially mislead consumers about the health benefits associated with the products. FSSAI takes action against Dr. Reddy's and Nestle Health Science Limited, Nex International and Shreyash Retail Pvt. Ltd. for non-compliant advertising and misleading claims, sale of unsafe food, and sale of expired/rotten food products, respectively, the food regulator said. FSSAI remains committed to ensuring safe and wholesome food, protecting consumer interests and taking stringent action against violations of food safety requirements, it added. The notices seek explanations from the companies on the nature of the claims as well as the manner in which they were presented to consumers. The companies will be required to respond to the regulator's concerns before any further regulatory action is considered. The action comes amid increased scrutiny by FSSAI of the marketing and labelling of food products that carry health and nutritional benefit claims. The regulator has been emphasising that such claims should be presented accurately and should not create misleading impressions about the benefits that consumers can expect from a product.
