  • •The Delhi High Court allowed Reliance Consumer Products Ltd to continue marketing its Campa brand products as energy drinks.
  • •The relief follows an FSSAI order directing makers of high-caffeine beverages to stop using the energy drink description.
  • •The court questioned the regulator for failing to issue a notice to RCPL before passing the restrictive order.
  • •RCPL argued that the label ban jeopardized its business and caused substantial disruption through stock seizures.
  • •The case will be heard next on November 5 alongside similar pleas from PepsiCo and Monster Beverage.

Key Questions Answered

A court on Tuesday allowed Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL) to continue marketing its Campa brand products with the "energy drinks" label, providing relief against a food regulator's ban.

The FSSAI's crackdown is part of an India-wide food safety push driven by growing health concerns over high-caffeine beverages sold as energy drinks, and because India has no notified food standard recognizing such a category.

The Delhi High Court will next hear the case concerning Reliance's Campa brand labeling on November 5.
