Mondelez India also provides malted food drinks under the Bournvita brand and powdered beverages under brand Tang.

Besides, it sells biscuits under the brand name of Oreo and Bournvita and candy under the brand name of Halls and Chocolairs.

Earlier this year, the company was in the news over a row on the content of Bournvita. A controversy was raised after a viral Instagram reel questioned the claims made by the beverage of boosting immunity and providing several health benefits.

The said video was removed from Instagram after the company served a legal notice.

Later, the Ministry of Commerce issued an advisory to e-commerce companies in April.

In the advisory, the government asked all the e-commerce companies to remove drinks and beverages, including Bournvita, from the health drinks category from their portals.
