Paneer lovers could soon see changes in what is served and sold as paneer across India, with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) considering a nationwide ban on analogue paneer.
Analogue paneer is a non-dairy substitute made using ingredients such as vegetable oils, starches, emulsifiers and other additives instead of milk-based ingredients. While some states have already prohibited its sale as paneer, there is currently no nationwide ban in place.
