With an aim to maintain the safety standards of alcoholic beverages, the food regulator — Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) — is ready to set permissible limits of alcohol in alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, rum, gin, vodka etc.
The draft standards will come up for final discussions at the forthcoming meeting of the FSSAI next month.
So far, there was no benchmarking in place for prescribing safe and permissible limits of alcohol in drinks.
Once notified, the new standards will have to be adhered by all branded alcoholic beverages that are permitted for sale in India as per the current licensing regulations.
