In July 2026, FSSAI suspended licenses and cracked down on misleading claims, mandating the removal of “energy drink” labels within 90 days — the move that caused the most disruption. This triggered panic, state FDA stock seizures, and shortages of Red Bull, Sting, Monster, Hell, Campa Energy, and Thums Up Charged across India’s ₹13,000 crore market, risking waste of imported stock and creating a regulator-company flashpoint.

Simultaneously, FSSAI targeted unsafe manufacturing, unhygienic kitchens, and misleading health-food advertising.
