The Bombay High Court has stayed an advisory issued by the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to packaged food & beverage companies on ingredient disclosures. The stay was granted on Friday (31 January) following a writ petition filed by the Indian Drug Manufacturers Association, a body comprising pharmaceutical as well as health product manufacturers, who felt the product approval advisory issued in May 2013 by the country's apex food safety regulator would mire them in unnecessary red tape. The product approval advisory makes it mandatory for packaged food, beverage, health drink and supplement makers to disclose any ingredient or formulation change to FSSAI.
