The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has directed e-commerce players to “promptly rectify” misclassification of certain products that are being sold as “health drinks” or “energy drinks” on their platforms. It said this corrective action is needed to ensure transparency and enable consumers to make well-informed choices.
This direction comes after the food safety authority observed that e-commerce players are erroneously categorising certain milk, cereals and malt-based beverages as health drinks or energy drinks on their platforms.
In a statement, FSSAI said that it has observed instances of dairy-based beverage mix, cereal-based beverage mix or malt-based beverages, which are proprietary food products, being sold by e-commerce platforms under the category “health” drinks or “energy” drinks.
