TECH NEWS News: FSSAI directs e-commerce companies to accurately label beverages, cautioning against terms like 'health drinks' or 'energy drinks' for certain categor
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has instructed all e-commerce companies to refrain from labeling dairy-based, cereal-based, or malt-based beverages as health drinks or energy drinks . FSSAI emphasized that these terms lack definition under Indian food laws, with energy drinks specifically referring to certain flavored water beverages.
This is because the term 'health drink' isn't defined in the country's food laws, and 'energy drink' refers specifically to flavored water-based drinks, both carbonated and non-carbonated, under the laws.
