Zydus Wellness (Complan, Sampriti): FSSAI and BIS record

Update, 3 Nov 2026: on 21 Oct 2026 FSSAI shared a show-cause notice to Zydus Wellness over Complan. The claims cited were '2X Faster Growth', 'Supports Concentration and Memory', 'Pro Immunity+ 34 Vital Nutrients', 'GROW TALLER, FASTER. CLINICALLY PROVEN 2X GROWTH' and 'Growth Comes in 4 Flavors', under the FSS Act and the 2018 advertising and claims regulations. Zydus must show cause why action should not be initiated and give scientific justification. No response has been reported, and Complan remains on sale.

Zydus Wellness, the consumer arm of the Zydus pharmaceutical group, sells Complan, Glucon-D, Sugar Free and Nycil, and also markets milk powder under the Sampriti name. On 1 Aug 2023 the Bureau of Indian Standards published a recall order for Sampriti skimmed milk powder made under IS 13334:2014 after a sample failed the standard. The order PDF on the BIS site states the parameter and the lots; both are to be quoted from it.

The recall is confined to that product. None of Zydus Wellness's other brands appears in BIS alerts or publicly reported FoSCoS recalls; Complan's only FSSAI action is the October 2026 claims notice.

Separately, the Citizens Protein Project 2, published in November 2025, tested Complan NUTRIGO and reported arsenic at 0.53 mg/kg, the highest arsenic figure in that study, along with sucrose of 8.9 g per 100 g not declared and taurine at 39.5 g per 100 g. That is an independent laboratory finding with no regulatory action attached, recorded on its own page.
