For the first time in the country, the government will be prescribing alcohol content in all alcoholic beverages marketed in the country. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India is in the process of finalising the draft norms for the same.
With this, FSSAI will lay down the maximum permissible percentage in all alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, vodka, whisky and mandate safety standards for consumers under FSSA. Currently some of the liqour manufacturing companies are voluntarily printing the alcoholic percentage on the labels.
