United Spirits says FSSAI order has no material impact on business

Mumbai: It’s business as usual, says United Spirits Limited. The liquor maker has told stock exchanges that a recent order from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India over whisky product labels will have no material operational or financial impact on the company.

In a regulatory filing under the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, United Spirits said the order relates to certain whisky products manufactured at a third-party facility in Madhya Pradesh.

The order, dated July 29, 2026, states that the labels on the identified whisky products do not conform to provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. According to the company, the order was received on August 4 at around 11 am IST.

Despite the regulatory action, United Spirits said there are currently no material operational or financial implications arising from the order. It added that it continues to monitor the matter and assess any potential impact on its operations or finances.

The company also clarified that the issue pertains to labelling compliance and that the regulator’s observations concern product labels rather than the quality or safety of the whisky itself.

United Spirits said there is no monetary claim associated with the order. It also noted that the disclosure to stock exchanges followed internal verification with multiple stakeholders, resulting in a brief delay in reporting the matter.

While the order brings the company’s labelling practices under regulatory scrutiny, United Spirits has sought to reassure investors that the issue remains procedural in nature and does not currently affect its business operations or financial performance.
