Delhi Court Grants Reliance Interim Relief in Energy Drink Label Dispute
Reliance Industries has challenged a June 30 order by India's Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) that prohibits marketing its Campa-brand beverages as "energy drinks" due to health concerns over high caffeine content. The Delhi High Court granted Reliance interim relief, allowing continued use of the label while questioning FSSAI's procedural approach. Similar legal challenges by PepsiCo and Monster Beverage are ongoing, with Red Bull also securing a court reprieve. The regulatory crackdown is part of a broader food safety initiative addressing health risks linked to such products.
