What the update is
This is a clarification Zydus Wellness sent to the BSE and NSE on October 23, 2026, after the exchanges asked about a news article published on www.firstpost.com on October 22, 2026. The headline said FSSAI had issued notices to Nestle India and Zydus Wellness over alleged misleading product claims.
What the company said happened
- It received a notice from FSSAI as per procedure on September 24, 2026.
- It sent its response to the queries raised by FSSAI on October 4, 2026.
- In that response it told the authorities that the statements appearing on its product labels are factual in nature and are supported by scientific substantiation.
- It said it will continue to cooperate with the authorities if they seek further clarification.
On impact
Asked specifically about the material impact of the article on the company, the reply was: None. The company also stated that all material information that may affect its operations or performance, including price-sensitive information, has been regularly disclosed to the exchanges in a timely and accurate manner.
The company added that it remains committed to the highest standards of product quality, safety and regulatory compliance, and to following the rules applicable to its products.
How to read this
- This is a response to an exchange query about a media report, not a fresh announcement of a regulatory penalty.
- The company's position is that the label claims are substantiated, and it has already put its reply on record with FSSAI.
- The correspondence is at the notice-and-reply stage. The company's own assessment of the impact is "none".
What a retail investor may want to track
- Any further communication from FSSAI on this notice, and how the company responds to it.
- Any change in product labelling or claims that follows from the matter.
- The company's regular quarterly disclosures for any update on this subject.
The update does not change any financial figure of the company; it is a statement of facts and the company's position on a regulatory notice.
