The US Food and Drug Administration's import alert 99-42, for foods and products with heavy metals, lists Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan (two entities) and Allayurveda.com for 'bati products', citing lead and mercury, from 1 Apr 2021. An import alert lets the FDA detain the named goods at the US border without physical examination. It is a US measure and says nothing about Baidyanath's other products.
What this means for you
A US entry for named products
The listing names bati products. It is not a finding about all Baidyanath products.
No Indian action found
We found no Indian regulator action on Baidyanath in the sources we checked.
This is a record of official orders, not medical advice. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
Common questions
