In May 2018, FSSAI submitted it's first draft in the Parliament saying there would be a RED MARK on the FRONT OF THE LABEL if the pack contained food with high amounts of SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. In September 2022, because of the pressure from the food industry (inspite of resistance from the consumer organizations), FSSAI submitted another draft favoring the star rating system. In 2024, 3S and our health society filed a PIL in the Supreme Court saying that FSSAI should make FOPL warning mandatory. On 10th Feb 2026, Supreme Court directing FSSAI to consider implementing FOPL warning and to get back in 4 weeks. FSSAI asked for some more time. There was a stakeholders' meeting on the 19th of March 2026 where most of the people werefrom the food industry and a few were from the consumers. A couple of representatives from NAPi were there, including @Moveribfan Anytime, the FSSAI will submit it's final plan now. We, Indians have to put such tremendous pressure on FSSAI that it won't have a choice but to go for FOPL warning that warns every innocent ignorant Indian as well, about the packed food being high in SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. It is time all the influemcers and all the people rise up to the occasion and let FSSAI know what we need, just like how we did when there was a stay order (when Kenvue asked for a stay citing that recalling its 180 crore stock would spoil the name it had built for two decades) on the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th asking companies not to have ORS in the branding or on the label, and to not use the term ORS for marketing of beverages/foods. ORS is a drug. Only CDSCO can give permission/licence. Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on the label. Not just adults, even children are facing tremendous risk of obesity related complications with the food industry targeting them through various marketing strategies including celebrity endorsements. PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNING! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI! @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda @theliverdoc @foodpharmer2 #FOPLWARNING #INR #SupremeCourt #SaltSugarSaturatedfat #3SandOurhealthsociety #NAPi

Please do not get tired of me posting about the same thing. The stakes are high! Its a matter of crores of Indians, especially children. When it comes to children, hesitancy can have a cost! We cannot allow history to repeat! There may not be another Dr Sivaranjani to fight again. It's not just eRZL, but no drink should be positioned in the pharmacies along with WHO recommended formula ORS, and even better, none of the other beverages should be available in the pharmacies, hospitals, and schools. Please sign the petition and share it. We need to tell the Govt. how people of India feel about the issue, not that they don't know, but we need proof. Share this super creative video which tells one how confusing it gets for a stressed parent taking decisions when their child is sick. Also, another two companies have come up with ORS on the label. What are FSSAi and the FDAs doing when companies are so blatantly violating the Govt. order??!! c.org/4wzT58q4wN @MoHFW_INDIA @fssaiindia @JPNadda @narendramodi

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.” “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

I am Dr. Sivaranjani, a pediatrician , raising concerns about how eRZL is being marketed and positioned in pharmacies, and the risk it creates for consumers making critical decisions during dehydration. This issue is not about whether eRZL is safe in isolation.
It is about how it is presented, perceived, and potentially misunderstood in real-world settings. eRZL is a commercially marketed electrolyte drink. However, its branding and advertising raise serious concerns. *It should not be using ORSL in its communication.* Why? Because: * ORSL itself is not the original medically recommended ORS * Referencing ORSL in any form creates brand recall in the minds of consumers * Instead of reducing confusion, it continues and reinforces it When eRZL is positioned as a continuation or replacement of ORSL, it keeps that same association alive — especially among parents who may already believe ORSL was equivalent to ORS. 👉 This defeats the very purpose of regulatory action. In pharmacy settings: * People are often making quick decisions under stress * They rely on familiar names and visual cues * Branding can directly influence what they choose If eRZL continues to build on ORSL recall, it risks being perceived as a medical solution for dehydration, even when it is not the same as ORS (the medically recommended solution). There are also concerns around ingredients like sucralose, especially in children and with prolonged use, based on global health guidance. This makes clear communication even more important. After raising these concerns, I have received a legal notice from Johnson & Johnson Pte Ltd and Kenvue. This petition is not about conflict. It is about: * Clarity in healthcare communication * Preventing consumer confusion * Ensuring responsible branding and advertising * Allowing doctors to raise public health concerns without hesitation We urge the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to: 1 *. Ensure that, since eRZL closely resembles ORSL, Kenvue is directed to rebrand it in a way that does not create recall or association with ORSL.* 2. Prevent misleading positioning that may confuse consumers 3. Strengthen enforcement at the pharmacy level 4. Ensure clear differentiation from medically recommended ORS 5. Protect healthcare professionals raising genuine concerns In healthcare, even small confusion can have big consequences. Clear choices save lives. Stand for public health. Sign and share this petition to help protect every family from confusion in critical moments. c.org/4wzT58q4wN

Hilarious scene at a BJP's nari shakti protest against opposition. 🤣 Reporter: What do you want to say about the bill? Protestor: Whatever is happening is okay. But if it gets reduced, it will be better. Reporter: If what gets reduced? Protestor: Electricity bill.

With two more deaths at Nuh in NCR, 50 Indian citizens have died in sewers and septic tanks in just over 100 days this year! But our parliament will never have a special session to discuss and eradicate this barbaric, caste-based practice! #stopkillingus #WomenReservationBill

The Noida workers unrest isn’t an anomaly—it’s a mirror. We’ll bargain with a sabziwala down to his last rupee but swipe ₹10,000 for an outfit at a fancy store without blinking. We’ll wedge our SUV into a cramped lane to dodge a parking fee, hand our domestic help a box of stale mithai and call it generosity. Expect employees to work extra hours without compensation because companies think they have done a huge favour by employing them. Dignity is not something that belongs to the privileged. It belongs to all.
