What the reporting says

FSSAI initiated legal proceedings against Surya Food & Agro, the maker of Priyagold biscuits, over the use of cattle feed bran in biscuit manufacturing, according to publisher summaries. The regulator also initiated prosecution against Dodla Dairy and UEIR Organic Foods for alleged serious violations of FSSAI rules.

Why it matters

FSSAI initiated prosecution proceedings against Surya Food & Agro for allegedly using cattle feed bran in Priyagold biscuits, and also against Dodla Dairy and UEIR Organic Foods for serious rule violations. The available summaries mention substandard milk and pesticide residues for the other cases, but the outcome is not stated. No penalties, hearings or final judgments are reported, so the legal and business impact remains uncertain.
