Yoga Guru Ramdev Baba has to face criticism yet again after establishing his image as the light that is leading India in a healthier direction. This time it was not the medieval methods of past paced Anlom-Vilom or stomach churning excercises but the food products sold by the Divya Yog Mandir Trust.

A Food and Drug Testing Laboratory has quoted irregularities in the labelling of six food products marketed by the trust.
The alleged regulatory violations by the Trust have been categorised as "misleading" and "misbranding" against labels. However, the trust has denied the claims.
The six sampled food products in which irregularities have been found are salt, mustard oil, honey, black pepper, pineapple jam and Arogya Besan.
Kurve said, "It states that the product is manufactured elsewhere while claims of purity have been made by brand Patanjali, which becomes misleading" according to the laboratory reports.
A notice is being sent in this regard to the trust, he said.

State food security department had taken samples of six food products allegedly manufactured and marketed by the yoga guru's trust in August and sent them to the Rudrapur-based food and drug testing laboratory which gave its report yesterday.
However, denying any attempt to mislead the consumers president of Patanjali Ayurved Ltd S K Patra said, "No company manufactures salt. It is made on the sea shore. All companies buy it and then brand it."
However, the report does not comment on the quality of the products and cites only alleged violations of regulatory requirements in their labelling.
