FSSAI issued notices to beverage brands including Red Bull, PepsiCo India, Monster, Hell Energy and Reliance's Campa over 'energy drink' labels, citing misbranding and unpermitted functional/therapeutic claims, signaling tighter FMCG enforcement in India.

Why this matters

Extends FSSAI's escalating scrutiny of energy drinks, following earlier notices to 6 brands over misleading claims and its move barring non-compliant drinks from using the 'ORS' label after an 8-year campaign.

Retail-brand signals steady at 2,272 over the last 90 days.
