FSSAI's ORS Crackdown: Fake Health Drinks Banned After Doctor's 8-Year Battle | India Today

This special report focuses on the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's (FSSAI) landmark directive banning the use of the term 'ORS' on products not conforming to the WHO formula, a move spurred by the relentless campaign of Hyderabad-based pediatrician Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh. 'As a pediatrician, if I'm seeing so many kids suffer, How would I feel?' asked Dr. Santosh, highlighting the danger of deceptively labeled drinks. Her eight-year battle, which included a Public Interest Litigation, targeted popular beverages that were high in sugar and lacked the correct electrolyte balance, potentially worsening dehydration in sick children. The FSSAI order, issued on October 14, 2025, and clarified on October 15, revokes previous permissions that allowed the 'ORS' trademark with a disclaimer, mandating that the term be used only for medical-grade formulations. This decision is a major victory for consumer health, particularly for child safety in India, where diarrhea is a leading cause of mortality. #fssai #ors #oralrehydrationsolution #itwebvideos #health #foodsafety #drsivaranjanisantosh #childhealth #misleadinglabels #whoguidelines #indiatoday #consumerrights Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
