<h1>Startup launches lactose-free, no-refined-sugar ready-to-drink milkshakes; address labeling, claims, packaging, contracts, IP and consumer law</h1> A Hyderabad-based startup launched lactose-free, no-refined-sugar ready-to-drink milkshakes after participation in a corporate startup challenge that provided product-development support and access to a packaging company's test facility; products are sold online and in three cities with planned wider roll-out. Key legal considerations include compliance with food labelling and health-claim regulations for lactose-free and sweetener assertions, packaging and shelf-life standards, contractual terms governing mentorship, facility access and commercialization support from the corporate partner, distribution agreements for e-commerce and quick-commerce channels, and potential intellectual property and consumer protection exposure.
