The recipe didn't change. The label did. The Whole Truth's chocolates are still sweetened with whole date powder. However, after an FSSAI notice, the company changed the front-of-pack claim from "No Added Sugar" to "Sweetened with Dates."

FSSAI's regulations don't just look at table sugar. If an ingredient is added for its sweetening properties (such as honey, fruit concentrates, or dried fruit pastes/powders), products generally can't make a "No Added Sugar" claim.

Dates are not refined sugar, but they still contain natural sugars. Always check the nutrition label for total sugars and the ingredient list instead of relying only on front-of-pack claims.

In a recent podcast, Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe said that misleading advertisements aren't just unethical, they can also violate the law. He added that celebrities endorsing products can also face action if the claims they promote are found to be misleading, and they can't simply say they were "just acting" in an advertisement.

We've all seen big celebrities promoting pan masala or similar products. Do you think celebrities should be held responsible for the products they endorse?

The Maharashtra FDA has directed all schools to stop the sale, display and advertisement of chocolates, chips, cold drinks and other foods high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS). The restrictions also apply to shops within 50 metres of school premises. Schools are expected to promote healthier options like fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole grains and dairy instead.

As a community that cares about nutrition, this feels like a step in the right direction.

A recent report highlights that sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) is being seen much earlier in Indians. Experts point to low protein intake, diabetes, sedentary lifestyles and lack of strength training as some of the biggest reasons.

Most of us worry about gaining fat as we get older, but losing muscle is just as important. It can affect strength, balance, mobility, metabolism, and overall quality of life. Regular resistance training and eating enough protein can help slow or even reverse much of this decline.

Mumbai's FDA and Crime Branch have busted a milk tampering racket in Goregaon (West). Two people were arrested for allegedly opening sealed milk packets, mixing in contaminated water, resealing them and selling them as branded milk.

Officials seized and destroyed 822 tampered milk packets (558 litres) during the raid.

This is worrying, especially for people who drink milk every day for protein. How do you even trust milk after reading something like this?

As a mark of support for scientist, engineer, and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk ji, and the students raising their voices for a fair and transparent examination system, we have temporarily changed the r/TheBetterIndia subreddit icon.

So ive been having overnight oats for many months now, been using OWN whey, but now due to the price hikes i just ordered Amul unflavoured whey and im thinking of adding cocoa powder separately to make my oatmeal, can anyone recommend which is the best cocoa powder for putting in my oatmeal? saw a few of these, more suggestions are welcome :)

FSSAI has issued notices over misleading claims used by these brands, including terms like "Fresh", "Healthy", "100% Organic", "FSSAI Approved" and "Boosts Immunity". Good move by FSSAI!

Hyderabad Police and food safety officials have seized around 825 kg of fake (analogue) paneer during raids across the city. According to reports, some sellers were passing off products made using synthetic milk, vegetable fat, starch, and other non-milk ingredients as regular paneer. Officials also found products without proper labels, expiry dates, and FSSAI compliance.

If paneer is a regular part of your protein intake:

• Buy from trusted brands or licensed dairy shops.
• Avoid loose, unlabelled paneer.
• Check the label carefully before buying.

Food adulteration isn't new but cases like this are a reminder to be a little more careful about where we get our protein from.

Four matches. Four wins!

India's men's volleyball team has been outstanding at the AVC Men's Volleyball Cup 2026, going unbeaten to reach the semifinals. Playing on home soil in Ahmedabad, the team has shown great composure, teamwork, and consistency throughout the tournament.

Next up: India vs Australia in the semifinal.

Indian volleyball doesn't get the attention it deserves, but performances like this show how much the sport has grown in recent years. Let's get behind the team and cheer them on as they fight for a place in the final.

These food swaps can help you stay fuller, reduce unnecessary calories and make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit. Which swap would be the hardest for you?

Just a reminder that BigMuscles Premium Gold Whey failed Trustified lab test some time ago, yet it continues to be one of the top-selling protein powders on Amazon.

It is just a reminder that ratings, influencer marketing, discounts and bestseller badges don't always tell the full story. Before buying a protein powder, it is worth checking independent lab reports and ingredient information instead of relying only on the product listing.

Trustified results are available publicly and protein comparison tools like ValueLens can make it easier to compare prices and test results in one place.

Do you check third-party lab tests before buying supplements or do you mostly rely on reviews and ratings?

Maharashtra has introduced a rule requiring restaurants to disclose whether they are serving real paneer or analogue paneer. Real paneer is made from milk, while analogue paneer is made using vegetable oils and starches and can have significantly lower protein content.

This seems like a good move for transparency. If customers are paying for paneer, they should know what they are actually getting. Why should only Maharashtra have this rule? Shouldn't it be implemented across India?

India woke up to a historic sporting moment as our champions delivered 3 massive victories in one day.
