Section 3(1)(j) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 was considered, but Regulation 2.3.4 of the 2011 Regulations was held inapplicable because tobacco and nicotine were not added as ingredients in any food product; nicotine was inherent in the leaf, and the test reports did not show any increase in nicotine content from the petitioners' process. The restraint orders and notices were therefore unsustainable and were quashed, and the sale ban was set aside. en-us Mon, 18 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:56:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=467528 Unmanufactured tobacco remains outside a prohibition aimed at food products where jaggery-water sprinkling and leaf-cutting do not transform it into a manufactured product.
