FSSAI proposes new category for 'low alcohol' beverages

It has also laid down the standards, composition, and definition of such beverages as well as the safety parameters to be adopted.

Sources in the regulator said since 2018, the food safety standards for alcoholic beverages had existed but recently standards for low-alcohol and ready-to-drink products, including their definition and safety parameters, had been specified additionally.

"The said standard is an amendment in regulation and is not changing other existing definitions," the FSSAI notification said.
