Hindustan Unilever drops 'health' label from Horlicks, calls it 'functional nutritional drink'

Hindustan Unilever has re-named its 'health food drinks' category as functional nutritional drinks (FND), a move after the Ministry of Commerce and Industry asked e-commerce websites to remove drinks and beverages from 'heathy drinks' category on their platform.

"We have changed the labels of the category to FND which is a much better way to call it," said Ritesh Tiwari, chief financial officer of Hindustan Unilever at the earnings press conference on April 24.

Tiwari said that the FND category is under-penetrated and hence there is a big opportunity for growth in the same. Hindustan Unilever will focus on increasing customers, increasing usage, and giving more benefits for consumers to upgrade in the FND category, said Tiwari. He also said that the company is seeing better growth in its premium FND range which caters to Diabetes and women's health.

Yes, poor guy gets threats & defamation cases regularly.

But no Supreme court came for help initially.

May he get more good lawyers by his side & expose the bias ness overall.

Aap ko 100 % nutrition daily nahin milta. Issliye roz do baar peeyee hamaara nutrition drink. 

Now they use nutrition word in advt instead of health word. Actually nutrition word is more misleading compared to health word.

No its not. Horlicks is just a dump of flavored sugar, and sugar has literally zero nutritional value.

For kids, Reduce its intake to 1spoon per day..everybody will be happy then.. including kids and parents  ..and if it's taken everyday, reduce the chocolates and toffees. Or Vice versa..that's my opinion
We all know it's not practical to just dodge these drinks, we need to reduce it gradually
