Delhi’s High Court sets aside a Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) order that directed Red Bull to stop using the “energy drink” label on its product packaging.
The court’s decisions across outlets indicate the relief for Red Bull is not final on every procedural point. While the FSSAI directive is removed, the court clarifies that FSSAI can issue a fresh direction after following proper process. According to one report, this would include giving Red Bull a show-cause notice and an opportunity to be heard.
Another outlet reports that the court pauses the FSSAI order, reflecting the same overall dispute but emphasizing a temporary stay rather than immediate final enforcement. Taken together, the coverage focuses on the court’s intervention in the regulator’s labeling direction and the requirement that any new action by FSSAI proceed with due notice and hearing. The underlying disagreement relates to how the product may be described under food safety rules and regulations.
