Reliance Challenges Indian Regulator's Ban on Marketing Campa Drinks as Energy Drinks
Reliance Industries has filed a legal challenge against India's food safety regulator's June 30 order that prohibits marketing its Campa-brand beverages as "energy drinks" due to high caffeine content and associated health concerns. This move follows similar actions by other companies like PepsiCo and Monster Beverage. The regulator's crackdown includes product seizures and e-commerce delistings, aiming to address health risks linked to such drinks. Reliance seeks to overturn the ban, citing business disruption and damage to its market presence.
