Misleading ads of Horlicks Complan Pediasure
My grandson till recently was on products made by complan and pediasure and he had almost gotten addicted to having these powders in his milk. The parents because of ads always thought they were really helpful in his growth. Tooth decay is a different story.
Does FSSAI or Consumer Dept look at these misleading ads by Indian food companies like the one below in Australia where they actually impose big fines. Surely cant rely on ASCI to do it.
