The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has announced new standards for manufacturers of products to check mis-labelling. Health supplements cannot be sold as 'medicines' any more as it has operationalised with immediate effect new standards for eight categories of products, including health supplements and nutraceuticals.CEO Pawan Aggarwal said that FSSAI will start granting licences and approve products manufactured based on the new standards. However, these regulations will be enforced from January 2018. Every package of health supplement should carry the word 'health supplement' as well as an advisory warning 'not for medicinal use' prominently written, it said.
