Claim
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has sent notices to six major energy drink companies.
“फूड सेफ्टी एंड स्टैंडर्ड्स अथॉरिटी ऑफ इंडिया यानी एफएसएसएआई ने एनर्जी ड्रिंक्स बनाने वाली छह बड़ी कंपनियों को नोटिस भेजा है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple reputable Indian outlets and wire agency ANI, dated 1-2 July 2026 (matching the 2 July broadcast), confirm FSSAI issued show-cause notices to six major energy-drink brands (Red Bull, PepsiCo's Adrenaline Rush and Sting, Reliance's Campa Gold Boost, Hell Energy, Monster Energy) over misleading 'energy drink' labelling. The anchor's count of six and the FSSAI-notice framing match the reporting; the only minor imprecision is 'companies' vs 'brands' (two brands belong to PepsiCo), which does not change the substance.
