Dr Arvind Shenoy, a noted consumer product researcher, while shopping, shockingly found two distinct labels for the same packet of Saffola Active oil. One packet of Saffola Active contained 40mg of oryzanol per 10gms of oil while an identical packet showed 85mg of oryzanol per 10 gms of oil. Mr Shenoy, in his complaint, said, “The value of 40mg of oryzanol per 10gms of blended oil containing 80% of rice bran oil (RBO), is in clear violation of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations.”

It was also found that Saffola Active packet (containing 40mg of oryzanol per 10gms of oil) shows the same quantity of oryzanol as the one as Saffola Gold, and both are differently priced. Saffola Gold is priced higher than Saffola Active.
