FSSAI declares packaged drinking water as high-risk food

Ensuring stricter safety measures for consumer protection

What does 'high-risk' classification mean?

It mandates regular inspections and audits to maintain quality standards

Annual inspections now mandatory

Manufacturers must undergo yearly facility checks to ensure compliance

Third-party audits introduced

Independent agencies will assess safety protocols to uphold product integrity

Why the reclassification?

To enhance consumer safety following concerns over quality and safety

Impact on manufacturers

Increased vigilance and adherence to stringent safety norms are now required

Consumer reassurance

These measures aim to boost trust in the safety of packaged drinking water

Broader implications

Other high-risk foods include dairy, meat, and seafood, all under strict scrutiny
