Delhi High Court Grants Interim Relief to Reliance 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 high-caffeine beverages, including its Campa brand, as "energy drinks" due to health concerns. The Delhi High Court granted interim relief, allowing Reliance to continue using the label while questioning FSSAI's procedural lapses, such as lack of prior notice. Similar legal challenges by PepsiCo and Monster Beverage are ongoing. The court will hear these cases again on November 5 amid a broader regulatory crackdown on such products.
