No hearsay. If we cannot find the order, we do not list it.
We find the document
A gazette notification, a CDSCO or FSSAI order, a court ruling or a lab report. We save a copy and link to the original.
We copy the facts exactly
Product name as printed, batch number, the test it failed, who decided and when. One bad batch is never stretched into a bad brand.
We keep it current
Stays, appeals and reversals change the status, so we recheck entries and date every page. Anyone named can reply, and we fix mistakes in public.
