NEW DELHI, - India's food safety regulator warned liquor giant Diageo that it misleadingly claimed one of its top-selling whiskies was "matured in American oak casks", when most of the product had not been matured, a confidential government notice shows.
The previously unreported July 20 notice from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, reviewed by Reuters, reveals another complaint by the regulator, in addition to an assertion of improper flavouring that prompted the authorities to ban some spirits this month.
