The Union health ministry may soon ask caffeinated beverage manufacturers to cabrry a mandatory caffeine content warning prominently on beverage packs.
From now on manufacturers of caffeinated drinks may have to carry a warning label for consumers — ”not recommended for children, pregnant or lactating women, persons sensitive to caffeine.”
The FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) has made it mandatory to display the above-mentioned warning in the principle display panel of the products, in bold with a bigger font so that it does not go unnoticed.
The apex regulatory body has decided to introduce this norm following recommendations that were a part of suggestions made by its officials and technical experts at a recently held meeting.
