"UP High Court Upholds Food Safety Standards: Sugandhit Supari Classified as Food Product Under FSSA, 2006"

The court held that "sugandhit supari" is classified as a food item under the Food Safety Standards Act, 2006, and not merely a tobacco product under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003. The summoning order passed by Additional Session Judge Jhasi and the non-bailable warrant issued by Additional District Judge Jhasi were upheld. The application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing these orders was dismissed.

Jagdish Prasad & Another v. State of UP & Another

Crl. Misc. Case No.11772/2024

Before the High Court of Allahabad

Heard by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal J

Fact:

The applicants firm M/s Balaji Traders Orai was involved in the manufacturing and sale of a product named "sugandhit supari".

An inspection was conducted by the Food Security Officer on 20.02.2020 at the manufacturing unit of the firm.

During the inspection, 370 packets of "sugandhit supari" were found, four of which were purchased and sent for analysis.

The food analyst's report indicated that the product contained tobacco, was of substandard quality, and did not meet labeling requirements.

A complaint was filed, leading to the summoning of the applicants and the issuance of a non-bailable warrant.

Legal Issue

Whether "sugandhit supari" is classified as a tobacco product or a food item under the relevant laws.

Whether the proceedings under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSSA, 2006) are valid if "sugandhit supari" is a tobacco product.

Point of arguments

Applicant's argument

"Sugandhit supari" is a tobacco product, and thus proceedings under the FSSA, 2006 are erroneous.

The product should be regulated under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2003 (COTPA, 2003).

Even if considered a food item, the applicants hold a valid license, making the invocation of the FSSA, 2006 incorrect.

Opposite Party's Argument

"Sugandhit supari" is a food item and thus falls under the purview of the FSSA, 2006.The applicants failed to present a valid license at the time of inspection.

Court's Observation

The FSSA, 2006 regulates food items to ensure safety for human consumption, while the COTPA, 2003 focuses on regulating and controlling tobacco product.

It considered the inclusion of betel nut (supari) under the definition of food and primary food in the FSSA, 2006 and its standards under the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011.

Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006: Defines "food" as any substance intended for human consumption and includes primary food (Section 3(1)(j)). Betel nut falls under this category as it is a primary food product derived from agriculture.

COTPA, 2003: Regulates tobacco products listed in its schedule. Betel nut (supari) is not listed as a tobacco product under COTPA, 2003 unless it contains tobacco as an ingredient.

LotR Week (6/7): Songs and tales - Aragorn x Reader

Content & Warnings: fluff, mention of alcohol Word count: 0.5k Summary: During the celebration in Edoras you find enough courage to sing in front of the strangers. But some familiar eyes watch you too A/N: couldn't bring myself to put poor poetry in our king's mouth, so this is for reader to bear with. Penultimate submission for @lotrweek

The wind had once caught a banner, And carried it on ever since In cheerful, careless manner Over the mountains and seas.

It waved it all over the cities And forests - those bursting with life. Over blue lakes and white lilies, Brighter than mithril dwarves mine.

The wind had blown on through summers And never had tried to stop. But one day it suddenly faltered, And banner threatened to drop

For beautiful lady watched it From weathered and sheer cliffs. Her dress was of highest merit And so was the shawl she knit.

The wind crawled closer and bargained, “Give me your shawl. In return, I will chase off the clouds And let all your fires burn.”

The lady refused and asked for A single thing in exchange. “Please, give me back the banner From days of the passing age.

This banner I still remember – My love has ridden with it On day that I will forever Have written across my lips.”

The tight circle around you exploded in cheers and clapping. The smell of ale wafted over you as the foam splashed from the mugs. Unfamiliar hands patted your back with encouragement and approval. Someone toasted to your name and your song and more voices joined in. You smiled uncertainly and slowly made way through the crowd to the further end of the table, where it seemed calmer.

A few feet of distance didn’t make much difference in volume, but you found yourself breathing easier while not being surrounded by a living wall of bodies. In fact, it was rather nice to get away and watch the celebration from the sidelines. You looked around the room, noticing familiar faces here and there, but your eyes couldn’t catch a glimpse of the one that mattered the most. Not until a hand covered yours resting on the table and a mixture of smells filled your lungs. Leather and tobacco, and, which surprised you the most, foliage. Even here in Edoras, where everything was but coarse grass and horses, and occasional drink, he still smelled like he just walked out of a forest. You asked him about it a few times, though he simply shrugged it off as a consequence of living in Rivendell for too long.

Aragorn’s voice was low, but with his lips pressed against your ear there was no chance of missing his words. “It was a sight to behold. I thought there was a sun shining in the middle of the night, and a merry rain accompanied it. I must admit it’s a shame that your voice has never rung through the Hall of Fire, that would bring joy to many.”

“You flatter me. Elves have unnumbered songs and tales much more beautiful than this one.”

“But none of them is yours,” he whispered again and added softly, “meleth.”

The last part made you give up the dispute, it always did. And Aragorn, as if in gratitude for your compliance, embraced you. You felt several gentle kisses tracing the side of your face before he pulled you back and down until you were conveniently seated on his lap. His breath tickled your neck as he spoke, "Now, tell me. What is the tale behind your wonderful song?"

Washing my new pants and I've run into the same problem with EVERY pair of pants.

Too big in the waist, too tight in the hip.

-

I discovered that Walgreen's is currently mired in an anti-discrimination lawsuit (specifically in California) and I do tick a bunch of the "equal-opportunity" boxes.

female

disabled

veteran

over 40

It's possible corporate's application algo flagged me as a diversity hire.

I've also learned that many, many stores are being closed. There are two Walgreen's, here, and two CVS. There used to be a Rite Aid but it was replaced by the second Walgreen's. Apparently CVS and Rite Aid are closing a lot of locations, too.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a list online that I can look at to see if this store is being closed. That would be alright, really. I would have a few months of work and income, insurance for a little while, and then a totally neutral reason for no longer working there.

-

That's kind of weird to me that stores are closing because stocks went down after being high during the height of the pandemic. They're probably still making more money than they did pre-pandemic but it's less than they were making during, so the stores are less valuable and closing, taking all those jobs with them.

Stocks are fucking weird, man.

Looking at the job description and it's basically Do Everything.

I am convinced that capitalism, particularly where it intersects with food, energy, and medical care, is the greatest threat to public health faced both in this country and globally, and thus the #1 threat to US national security. The minimum acceptable solution is extremely strict regulation of these industries, on a level that makes current regulations look like the chaos of the 19th century, and government-paid compliance officers embedded in each department of such companies to prevent companies from hiding safety issues as Philips Respironics did. A similar compliance scheme would have prevented both Big Tobacco and Big Oil/Coal from hiding that their products were causing cancers and climate heating, respectively.

The ultimate goal is a planned economy with primarily nationalized industries which are legally accountable to public welfare rather than profits—breaking even, yes, but not profits—but embedded, state/federally paid (and well-paid, to reduce corruption) compliance officers are likely the best solution that could be implemented in the next 2-5 years. A perfect solution does nothing if you can’t implement it.

What are main Benefits of IQOS TEREA Indonesia

IQOS TEREA is part of the revolutionary line of products designed to provide adult smokers with a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. In Indonesia, IQOS TEREA has gained popularity for its innovative approach to tobacco consumption, offering a smokeless experience that minimizes exposure to harmful chemicals typically associated with conventional cigarettes.

The TEREA product line features HeatControl™ Technology, ensuring that the tobacco is heated—not burned—to deliver a flavorful, satisfying experience. This article explores the key benefits of IQOS TEREA in Indonesia, emphasizing why it is a superior choice for adult smokers seeking a modern, clean, and efficient tobacco experience.

Main Benefits of IQOS TEREA Indonesia

1. A Smokeless Tobacco Experience

IQOS TEREA uses HeatControl™ Technology to heat tobacco instead of burning it, ensuring a smoke-free experience. Traditional cigarettes burn at temperatures exceeding 800°C, producing smoke filled with harmful tar and carcinogens. In contrast, IQOS TEREA heats tobacco sticks at a controlled temperature of up to 350°C, eliminating smoke and ash while retaining the essence of real tobacco flavor.

This smokeless experience results in cleaner air, less odor, and reduced secondhand exposure, making it more socially acceptable and less intrusive in public spaces.

2. Reduced Harmful Chemicals

One of the most significant benefits of IQOS TEREA is the drastic reduction in harmful chemicals compared to conventional cigarettes. Research indicates that IQOS products produce up to 95% fewer harmful chemicals than traditional smoking. By heating rather than burning, IQOS TEREA minimizes the release of toxic substances while preserving the nicotine delivery that smokers seek.

This reduction is particularly appealing to smokers who are conscious of their health but are not ready or willing to quit nicotine altogether.

3. Flavorful and Authentic Tobacco Taste

IQOS TEREA provides an authentic tobacco experience that closely mimics the taste of traditional cigarettes, thanks to its innovative heating system. Each TEREA stick is carefully designed to ensure consistent flavor delivery, with a wide range of flavors tailored to suit individual preferences.

In Indonesia, popular flavors such as Ruby Fuse, Yellow Menthol, and Black Green cater to diverse tastes, offering smokers the freedom to choose their preferred sensory experience.

4. No Ash, Less Odor

Unlike traditional cigarettes that produce ash and a lingering smell, IQOS TEREA eliminates these inconveniences. The heating process does not generate combustion byproducts, ensuring that users enjoy a clean and odor-free environment. The absence of ash also means less mess and easier disposal, making IQOS TEREA a convenient option for both indoor and outdoor use.

This feature is particularly appreciated in urban areas of Indonesia, where cleanliness and air quality are major concerns.

5. A Stylish and Innovative Device

The IQOS device paired with TEREA sticks is sleek, modern, and portable. Available in various colors and designs, the device appeals to smokers who value aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. The ease of use and rechargeable nature of the device ensure that it fits seamlessly into users’ lifestyles, whether at home, at work, or on the go.

For Indonesians who embrace innovation, IQOS TEREA offers an opportunity to adopt a premium product that aligns with their tech-savvy and forward-thinking approach.

6. Cost-Effective Alternative

While the initial cost of purchasing an IQOS device might be higher, the long-term savings are considerable. Traditional cigarettes can be costly in the long run, especially for regular smokers. In contrast, TEREA sticks are often priced competitively, making them a more economical choice over time.

For many Indonesians, this balance between quality and affordability makes IQOS TEREA an attractive option.

7. Regulatory Compliance and Support in Indonesia

IQOS TEREA is marketed as a product that complies with regulatory standards, offering a legal and trusted alternative to smoking. The availability of TEREA in licensed outlets across Indonesia ensures that users can access authentic products with ease.

Moreover, the support system provided by IQOS, including customer care and user guides, enhances the overall experience, making it simple for new users to transition to this innovative product.
