Shares of Patanjali Foods Limited may come into focus after the company informed the exchanges that the prohibition order on the sale of a batch of its Patanjali Organic Wild Honey has been revoked.
In a filing to BSE and NSE dated July 10, 2025, the company stated that the Office of the Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety, Drugs & Food Control Organization, Kargil, UT Ladakh, has withdrawn its earlier order prohibiting the sale of a particular batch of Patanjali Organic Wild Honey.
The earlier prohibition was imposed after the primary laboratory reportedly found the batch to be non-compliant with food safety standards. However, the company clarified that the batch was subject to a review by an appellate (referral) laboratory, which has now confirmed that the batch complies with the Food Safety and Standards (Contaminants, Toxins and Residues) Regulations, 2011, and is safe for consumption.
The order revoking the prohibition was issued on July 9, 2025, and is effective immediately.
'This is for your information and records please,' the company said in the filing signed by Company Secretary Ramji Lal Gupta.
The development removes a regulatory overhang on the company's food products and comes as a relief after the earlier adverse finding.
