- Laboratory tests and inspections found, according to FSSAI, artificial or nature-identical flavourings used to recreate whisky and rum tastes.
- Affected variants include products from United Spirits, Inbrew Beverages and Mohan Rocky Springwater facilities in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
- For three Old Monk variants, FSSAI said matured rum comprised less than 5 percent despite a seven-year claim.
- United Spirits is challenging FSSAI’s June 29 directive concerning McDowell’s No. 1 Rum in the Bombay High Court.
There is no internationally recognised manufacturing practice whereby rum flavour is added to rum or whisky flavour is added to whisky.— FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) – official statement on manufacturing practices and labelling in spirits
