trouble for Baba Ramdev as plea in Delhi High Court alleges Patanjali tooth powder has non-veg ingredients

The Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to Patanjali Ayurveda and Baba Ramdev on a plea alleging that its herbal tooth powder, Divya Dant Manjan, contains non-vegetarian ingredient and has been misbranded as vegetarian.

Justice Sanjeev Narula also issued notice to the Central government and Patanjali’s Divya Pharmacy which manufactures its products.

The matter will be hear next on November 28.

The petition filed by advocate Yatin Sharma has alleged that the packaging of Patanjali’s Divya Dant Manjan has a distinctive green dot, a symbol for vegetarian products, but the list of ingredients on the packaging clearly showed that the tooth powder contain Sepia officinalis (common cuttlefish)

The petitioner argued that this amounts to misbranding and even Ramdev and others are promoting the product as vegetarian.

Sharma said that this violates the Drugs and Cosmestics Act
