FSSAI Bans ‘ORS’ Labeling on Food Products

FSSAI orders removal of 'ORS' from labels after doctor flags misuse in sugary drinks

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, chaired by Rita Teaotia, has directed States and UTs to remove the term “ORS” from non-compliant product labels. The move follows Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh’s campaign against sugary drinks falsely marketed as oral rehydration solutions. Violators face penalties under the 2006 Act.
