Red Bull Challenges FSSAI Order Banning 'Energy Drink' Label in India
Red Bull has challenged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) order prohibiting the use of the term "energy drink" on its products, citing lack of prior notice and regulatory clarity. The FSSAI's July directive requires brands to remove "energy" from labels and marketing due to absent category standards and concerns over misleading claims. Industry representatives argue that the alternative term "caffeinated beverages" is too broad and could confuse consumers. The Delhi High Court is hearing the case.
