The health of the youth was being played with, a huge fine was imposed on the famous protein powder making company

BigMuscles: Earlier this year, several protein powder brands came under scrutiny. They were accused of making false and exaggerated claims to sell their products. Most of the allegations were against BigMuscles. Now, on the complaint of a customer, the court has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the company.

Bigmuscles protein is considered the worst

Hepatologist Cyriac AB Phillips, popularly known as The LiverDoc, has released this report against protein powder manufacturing companies. After this, an investigation was started against many protein brands. In the report, the protein powder sold by Big Muscles has been described as the worst. In fact, the brand has been embroiled in similar controversies regarding incorrect labeling for some time now.

Meanwhile, Rahul Shekhawat from Mumbai discovered that the protein powder he bought online contained misleading information and potentially harmful ingredients. He bought Big Muscle Nutrition's protein powder in February 2023, which had claims of 100 percent protein performance and no added sugar. However, he contacted the company after reading online articles questioning the health benefits of whey protein. The company also sent him a lab report but when he got it tested from another lab, the product was found to contain sugar.

He sent a notice to the company, and on not receiving a response, Rahul Shekhawat filed a complaint in the consumer forum. Despite the notice, the company did not appear before the forum. Based on the independent lab report, the consumer forum found the allegations against the company to be true and ruled in favour of Shekhawat. He was awarded Rs 1.1 lakh as compensation for mental agony and a full refund for the misleading product.
