FSSAI Declares Bottled Water ‘High-Risk’—What Does It Mean for Safety? | Health

FSSAI classifies bottled water as a high-risk product, requiring annual inspections for manufacturers. This move aims to ensure better safety standards amid growing concerns about contamination. This decision follows a recent amendment that removed the mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for packaged drinking water, which was previously required in addition to a food safety license. The FSSAI’s new order streamlines the registration process for water manufacturers while still enforcing stringent safety measures. But what does this mean for consumers and the industry? Watch to find out.
