Red Bull Challenges FSSAI Ban on 'Energy Drink' Label in Delhi High Court
Red Bull has challenged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) June order banning the use of the term "energy drink" on its caffeinated beverages, arguing the regulator did not issue a prior notice or opportunity for hearing. The Delhi High Court has asked FSSAI to clarify if due process was followed. The ban, part of a broader enforcement drive, affects several brands amid concerns over misleading claims and the absence of defined category standards. Industry players warn the label removal could impact brand value and sales in India's growing energy drink market.
