Advocate Yatin Sharma, who filed the petition, argued that the product’s packaging prominently displays a green dot, a symbol that usually indicates a vegetarian product, while the ingredient list includes Sepia officinalis, derived from cuttlefish.
The petitioner and his family, who have been consuming the product for a long time due to its advertised vegetarian nature, were shocked to discover the inclusion of animal-derived ingredients. The petition highlighted that this discovery was particularly distressing for the family, who adhere to strict vegetarian practices based on their Brahmin heritage.
