Taking mineral water daily? Check this article once
This summer was hotter than ever. In the recent times, enough rains cooled the atmosphere. But water scarcity still remains. We are rushing to nearby shops to bring mineral water bottles. But shocking news is that, the mineral water is not pure.
Even the water bottles from the branded companies like Kinley, Bisleri also contains some impurities in them. Food Safety and Standard Authority of India announced these shocking facts. Most of the mineral water manufacturing companies do not have licenses. Interesting thing is,even the leading companies like Kinley, Bisleri are also in the list of non-licensed companies. According to the concerned department,not even a single company is maintaining the standards in manufacturing mineral water.
Now the department is very busy in making a list of the manufacturing units which do not have licenses across the country.Experts are suggesting to use the water purifiers rather depending on the mineral water bottles. There are many water purifiers in the market at affordable rates. This proves that pure water is really a joke in our country.

What's in Your Food: All You Need to Know About Food Preservatives on the Labels
Eating well is easy with fresh produce but it can be a challenge when shopping for packaged food in the local super market. Let's admit it, we've all gulped down that carton of juice and snacked on a packet of chips without taking the time to read the list of preservatives that go into them.
For the uninitiated, preservatives are a type of food additive that is put into packaged food to prolong its shelf life, enhance the taste or keep the colour and nutrients of the product intact.
While a majority of these additives have been deemed safe for consumption by food authorities (in limited amounts), some of them have come under fire due to their long-term health impact.
It is a good idea for everyone to learn more about these additives, look for them on the labels of the food to be consumed, avoid them as much as possible, and search for information on healthier alternatives. Here's our comprehensive guide to eating healthy without additives:
Reading the Label
In harmony with the global food standards of Codex Alimentarius Commission and WHO, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has laid down several regulations for the use of preservatives. FSSAI, under the Health Ministry, has fixed the maximum limit for use of additives in various food groups to ensure the acceptable daily intake is not exceeded. It has also stepped up measures to strengthen quality standards while reviewing the existing rules for caffeine content, metal contaminants and other residues in food products.
It is mandatory for a food business operator to declare the preservatives used on the label of a packaged food product. The label, normally found on the back of the package, lists ingredients in the order of their quantity in the food and preservatives (used in small amounts) are most often listed at the bottom.
Additives to Avoid
1. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
Cheap, sweet and produced in abundance as compared to regular sugar, HFCS has crept into food supplies over the past few decades. HFCS can increase your bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, leads to obesity and contribute to the development of diabetes.
2. Aspartame
If you think you're eating healthy because you've replaced your sugar with artificial sweeteners like aspartame, you may want to think again! Problems attributed to these sweeteners include severe headaches, nausea, vertigo, slurred speech, memory loss, blindness, ringing in the ears, loss or change of taste.
3. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
MSG, a salt form of a non-essential amino acid, is a flavour enhancer and common food additive. An excitotoxin, MSG works by triggering the brain to produce excess quantities of the feel-good drug dopamine. Excessive ingestion of MSG can damage cells and result in overeating, which leads to obesity.
4. Potassium Bromate (E924)
Potassium Bromate is added to bread as a flour enhancer - to make it rise better and give it a uniform consistency. On cooking and heating, it breaks down into bromide, which, when consumed in excess, can inhibit the metabolism of the iodine and is regarded as a possible carcinogenic in countries like Canada, Brazil, Peru, and South Korea. A study by the Centre For Science and Environment (CSE) found that nearly 84 % of commonly available brands of packaged breads in India tested positive for potassium bromate. Following the study, this additive was banned by FSSAI.
5. Diacetyl
Diacetyl imparts a buttery taste to food. It is a chemical that is naturally present at low concentrations in a wide variety of foods such as dairy, beer, honey and fruits. However, artificially made diacetyl is added to impart the buttery flavour and aroma as well as to delay rancidity in packaged popcorn. The buttery steam of heated diacetyl can directly reach the lungs and excessive amounts can cause lung disease.
6. Sodium Benzoate (E211)
7. Colour Additives
Food dyes are one of the most widely used and dangerous additives. Most of them are petroleum-derived and may contribute to behavioural problems in children like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Some have even been implicated as possible carcinogenics. The use of certain colours in food is permitted but the concentration of these colours has been limited to 100 parts per million. It has also been made mandatory for manufacturers to specify the use of colours on their packages. Now you know why you need to stay way from food and drinks that look unnaturally coloured.
Natural Healthier Alternatives
While it's best to ditch the boxed stuff and go for real foods whenever you can, here are some foods that act as natural preservatives for other foods and are healthy for you too!
Using them in your kitchen can help keep leftovers fresh, keep food items from spoiling quickly and even prevent bacterial growth.
While you probably use some of them already, there may be others that you haven't thought of as preservatives.
1. Cloves: Used for thousands of years in India as a natural preservative, cloves contain high amounts of phenolic compounds that have antioxidant properties and also keep food from going bad by preventing the growth of fungus and bacteria.
2. Lemons: Lemons are a natural source of citric acid, an antibacterial preservative found in their peel and flesh. To use them to preserve your food, squeeze them into cold dishes or on top of items right after you cook them.
3. Oregano - Oregano is generally used for its warm herby flavour, but it is a preservative too. It has antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties that can be used to preserve meats.
4. Garlic: Garlic is a potent anti-viral food that's incredibly good at fighting bacteria - both in your body and in your food. Using garlic in a curry, soup, a dip, or anything else will help ward off harmful bacteria and prevent the food from spoiling quickly.
5. Sage: Sageis used in several cultures as a natural preservative to keep meats and cheeses from going bad. While the herb has antioxidant and antibacterial properties, it needs to be used sparingly to avoid overpowering the food with its strong flavour.
6. Vinegar: Like lemon juice, vinegar is also extremely acidic and is commonly used to preserve pickles and canned foods. The high amounts of acetic acid in vinegar kill microbes and prevent food from going bad.
7. Cinnamon - This aromatic spice has long been used to flavour and preserve food. However, its preservative properties work only against certain microbes and hence, it is best used along with other preservatives.
8. Thyme - Thyme has preservative and antioxidant properties and can be used to prevent food from decaying. However, like cinnamon, it is most effective when it's used along with other natural preservatives.
FSSAI to issue new standards for milk, dairy products soon
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is all set to address the Supreme Court’s concerns on milk adulteration by issuing new standards for milk and milk products, reports CNBC-TV18.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is all set to address the Supreme Court’s concerns on milk adulteration by issuing new standards for milk and milk products, reports CNBC-TV18.
Sources say FSSAI is working on a 3-pronged approach to ensure an overall assessment is done before final guidelines are rolled out and conducting pan-India milk quality survey to identify risk zones.
The food regulator is reportedly taking into account 10-12 parameters in the survey and may provide definition of ‘adulteration’ and ‘fat content’ in the final guidelines.
The State Food Safety Commissioners are likely to meet on August 23 to review state reports.
Energy drink Tzinga back on the shelves after food regulator’s nod
Variants re-launched in a new formulation
BENGALURU, AUGUST 18:
Eleven months after withdrawing its energy drink Tzinga from the market, on the orders of food regulator FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India), Hector Beverages Pvt Ltd has re-launched the apple, lemon-mint and orange variants of Tzinga in a new formulation that complies with the FSSAI safety standards.
The company, which is popularly known for its Paper Boat range of ethnic beverages, will be re-launching the fourth variant of Tzinga - tropical trip, next month.
“Tzinga was withdrawn from the market last May on the orders of FSSAI. We have re-launched it last month after receiving the go ahead from FSSAI. Priced at ₹40 for a 250-ml pack, Tzinga is available in modern and general trade outlets across six metros - Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad; and in Assam,” Parvesh Debuka, Head of Marketing – Paper Boat, Hector Beverages, told BusinessLine.
Tried and tasted
FSSAI had declared Tzinga unsafe for consumption because the energy drink consisted of caffeine and ginseng (a compound extracted from a herb used in traditional Chinese medicine), which the regulator said cannot be used in energy drinks.
The reformulated Tzinga, which was approved by FSSAI a few months ago, is now available minus the ginseng.
Tzinga’s formulation was tried and tasted over 12 months in labs in Germany and Holland by some of the top scientists before it was launched by Hector Beverages in April 2010.
Today, Paper Boat, which was launched in 2013, is the company’s flagship brand with a range of Indian recipe based drinks such as Aamras, Aam Panna, Anar, Jamun Kala Khatta, Kokum and Chilli Guava, which are made without preservatives, added colours or carbonation.
Gift packs
Having entered the gifting segment for the Diwali season in 2014, Paper Boat has extended it to Raksha Bandhan this year with the launch of two gift packs priced at ₹250 and ₹150 in a sandook designed packaging. “The bigger gift pack has two packs of Aamras which is our highest grossing product contributing 22 per cent of sales, two packs of Anar which is the second most popular drink in our portfolio and two packs of Chilli Guava. The latter has four packs of Aamras and these gift packs will be available well into September until stocks last,” said Debuka.
On demand
Bowing to continued customer demand, Paper Boat also launched Aamras and Anar in Tetra Pak’s Tetra Prisma Aseptic 500 ml cartons with the re-sealable StreamCap last week.
A distribution partnership with Indo Nissin has taken Paper Boat to 30 upcountry markets, besides the six metros it is present in.
The company has raised $42 million to date and is backed by Catamaran, Footprint, Sequoia, Hillhouse, Sofina and some Angels.
Stringent safety norms for drinking water soon: FSSAI chief
CHENNAI: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is tightening safety standards for packaged drinking water and plans to come out with norms for spring natural water.
"There is some gap in the safety standards for packaged drinking water. At present there is no standard for spring natural water. We are working on that," said FSSAI CEO Pawan AgarwaI.
The move comes two months after the FSSAI issued notices to state authorities asking them to crack down on mineral water packaging units that are operating without its licence.
Last month, the food regulator gave a clean chit to PepsiCo, Coca Cola and Bisleri for their packaged water facilities, while crackdowns are underway on some smaller players operating without valid manufacturing licences.
Out of total 5,842 registered water packaging units, 1,495 have both BIS and FSSAI licences, while 4,347 units have only BIS certification, the regulator said.
Packaged water processors need to have BIS certification and FSSAI licence to start their operations.

The regulator is also taking steps to ensure safety and quality in manufacturing of breads. It recently removed potassium bromate from the list of food additives, following a CSE report which claimed that the chemical causes cancer.
FSSAI came into limelight after it banned Maggi noodles as it found excess level of lead in samples. Nestle relaunched Maggi in Indian markets in November 2015.
SC issues Directions to prevent Adulteration and sale of adulterated and Synthetic Milk
Supreme Court of India Today has issued important directions to prevent the menace of growing adulteration and sales of adulterated and synthetic milk in different parts of the country.
The Bench comprising Chief Justice TS Takur and Justices R.Banumati and UU Lalit has issued the directions in a Public Interest Litigation filed by Swmai Achyutanand Tirth and Others. The petitioners allege that the concerned State Governments and Union of India have failed to take effective measures for combating the adulteration of milk with hazardous substance like urea, detergent, refined oil, caustic soda, etc. which adversely affects the consumers’ health and seek appropriate direction
The petitioners have relied on a report dated 02.01.2011 titled “Executive Summary on National Survey on Milk Adulteration, 2011” released by Foods Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) which concluded that on a national level, 68.4 per cent of milk being sold is adulterated and it is alleged that the worst performers in the survey were Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal, Mizoram, Jharkhand and Daman and Diu, where adulteration in milk was found up to 100%. In the States of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh 88% of milk samples were found adulterated.
According to the petitioners, milk is the only source of nourishment for infants and a major part of the diet for growing children in tender age and if no effective measure is taken to ensure the purity of milk, health of the children will be adversely affected.
The petitioners pleaded inaction and apathy on the part of the Government to take appropriate measure to rule out sale and circulation of synthetic milk and milk products across the country which according to the petitioners has resulted in violation of fundamental rights of the petitioners and public at large guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
The petitioners, therefore, have approached the Court for a writ of mandamus directing Union of India and the concerned State Governments to take immediate effective and serious steps to rule out the sale and circulation of synthetic/adulterated milk and the milk products like ghee, mawa, cheese, etc. On behalf of Union of India, it was submitted that a fair mechanism for dealing with food safety and standards and for checking adulteration is in place.
The Parliament has enacted Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and Regulations, 2011 which are effective in taking care of the food safety and standards. In the interim order dated 05.12.2013,the Court has expressed concern on adulteration of milk and milk products by unabated use of synthetic and harmful materials sold in the market. The consumption of adulterated milk and milk products is hazardous to human health and the state of affairs is alarming. Taking note of the seriousness of the matter vide order dated 30.01.2014,
Court directed Union of India and the States to file affidavits indicating the steps taken for curbing the adulteration of milk and indicating the number of cases identified where milk was adulterated with hazardous chemicals and details of prosecution launched and the result thereof. In compliance of those orders, all the States have filed their responses indicating the inspection done, number of prosecutions launched and status of those cases. Considering the seriousness of the offence and referring to the amendment to Section 272 Indian Penal Code made by States of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha, wherein the punishment for adulteration of food and products is enhanced to imprisonment for life and also fine.
By order dated 05.12.2013, Court observed that “similar amendments are to be made in other states as well.” The same direction was reiterated by Court vide order dated 30.01.2014 and also directed Union of India to consider bringing in suitable amendments to FSS Act. When the matter came up for hearing on 10.12.2014, Union of India submitted that the bill seeking to amend FSS Act by inserting a new section ‘Section 7A’ was withdrawn and the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare recommended that the Government of India may re-look into all the aspects of the matter and come up with a comprehensive Bill at the earliest.
The Bench has observed that since in India traditionally infants/children are fed milk, adulteration of milk and its products is a concern and stringent measures need to be taken to combat it. The consumption of adulterated milk and adulterated milk products is hazardous to human health. As directed by Court by order dated 10.12.2014, it will be in order that the Union of India come up with suitable amendments in the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and the Union of India shall also make penal provisions at par with the provisions contained in the State amendments as indicated above.
“As observed by this Court in the orders dated 05.12.2013 and 10.12.2014, it will be in order, if the Union of India considers making suitable amendments in the penal provisions at par with the provisions contained in the State amendments to the Indian Penal Code. It is also desirable that Union of India revisits the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 to revise the punishment for adulteration making it more deterrent in cases where the adulterant can have an adverse impact on health”. The Bench added. Considering the seriousness of the matter and in the light of various orders passed by the Court, the Court has disposed the Writ Petition with the following directions and observations:-
i. Union of India and the State Governments shall take appropriate steps to implement Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 in a more effective manner.
ii. States shall take appropriate steps to inform owners of dairy, dairy operators and retailers working in the State that if chemical adulterants like pesticides, caustic soda and other chemicals are found in the milk, then stringent action will be taken on the State Dairy Operators or retailers or all the persons involved in the same.
iii. State Food Safety Authority should also identify high risk areas (where there is greater presence of petty food manufacturer/business operator etc.) and times (near festivals etc.) when there is risk of ingesting adulterated milk or milk products due to environmental and other factors and greater number of food samples should be taken from those areas.
iv. State Food Safety Authorities should also ensure that there is adequate lab testing infrastructure and ensure that all labs have/obtain NABL accreditation to facilitate precise testing. State Government to ensure that State food testing laboratories/district food laboratories are well-equipped with the technical persons and testing facilities.
v. Special measures should be undertaken by the State Food Safety Authorities (SFSA) and District Authorities for sampling of milk and milk products, including spot testing through Mobile Food Testing Vans equipped with primary testing kits for conducting qualitative test of adulteration in food.
vi. Since the snap short survey conducted in 2011 revealed adulteration of milk by hazardous substances including chemicals, such snap short surveys to be conducted periodically both in the State as well as at the national level by FSSAI.
vii. For curbing milk adulteration, an appropriate State level Committee headed by the Chief Secretary or the Secretary of Dairy Department and District level Committee headed by the concerned District Collector shall be constituted as is done in the State of Maharashtra to take the review of the work done to curb the milk adulteration in the district and in the State by the authorities.
viii. To prevent adulteration of milk, the concerned State Department shall set up a website thereby specifying the functioning and responsibilities of food safety authorities and also creating awareness about complaint mechanisms. In the website, the contact details of the Joint Commissioners including the Food Safety Commissioners shall be made available for registering the complaints on the said website. All States should also have and maintain toll free telephonic and online complaint mechanism.
ix. In order to increase consumer awareness about ill effects of milk adulteration as stipulated in Section 18(1)(f) the States/Food Authority/Commissioner of Food Safety shall inform the general public of the nature of risk to health and create awareness of Food Safety and Standards. They should also educate school children by conducting workshops and teaching them easy methods for detection of common adulterants in food, keeping in mind indigenous technological innovations (such as milk adulteration detection strips etc.)
x. Union of India/State Governments to evolve a complaint mechanism for checking corruption and other unethical practices of the Food Authorities and their officers.
