Fssai issues an advisory on Clarification regarding Selling/ Marketing of fruit juices with Non- standardized ingredients dated 31 July, 2024.
The Food Safety & Standards Regulation prohibits the use of non-standard substances like “Deionized apple juice concentrate,” which some producers have been observed to be adding to their fruit juices.
Deionised apple juice is a natural sweetener, made by heating apple juice concentrate at high temperature and then filtering it.
Under the FSS (Approval for Non-Specific Food and Food substances) Regulation, 2017, food business operators are required to acquire approval for such non-specified foods and substances.
Additionally, the FBOs are instructed to make sure that the claims made in the advertisements and on the label adhere to the labeling specifications outlined in a number of FSSRs, including the FSS (Labelling & Display) Regulations, 2020 and the FSS (Advertising & Claims) Regulations, 2018.
The FSSAI has emphasized strict compliance with these regulations to ensure the safety and quality of fruit juices consumed by the public.
