A dispute has arisen between FSSAI and the manufacturer regarding the labeling of Old Monk. FSSAI insists the spirit must be labeled as "rum-like" rather than "rum" if it contains added flavoring. This disagreement has reached the Bombay high court, with the company claiming losses exceeding Rs 500 crore due to sales restrictions in Maharashtra.
