Sir, let there be a strong law to protect future generations aswell! Nothing except WHO recommended formula ORS and water should ever be available in the pharmacies, medical facilities, and schools! Otherwise, even if there is no ORS on the label, these high sugar liquids/stevia containing liquids will be handed out to parents when they ask for ORS during diarrhoea and dehydration, especially in the rural areas! We can't allow a child to die because of worsening of diarrhoea/inadequate rehydration due to these liquids, Sir! Awareness needs to be raised about the right way of preparing ORS solution using the ORS sachets. Awareness has to be raised about WHO recommended formula ORS. The instructions on the labels need to be in regional languages, in big font, and with pictorial representation as well. Scanning the QR code can give out verbal instructions aswell in the regional language. ORS/DRS/QRS etc should not be there on the labels of any drink ever even if it's being sold in the supermarkets/online commerce platforms unless it conforms to the WHO recommended formula ORS. Let that the 15th October FSSAI order be implemented with immediate effect. I am not against any company! I am against misbranding,misleading labelling and selling of high sugar liquids to parents when they ask for the LIFE SAVING ORS!

'I would have restrained the manufacturers from manufacturing fresh batches had I known that FSSAI would take two weeks to take a decision. The CONSENT ORDER was passed to enable the FSSAI to take the requisite steps. It wasn't to allow all these manufacturers to continue manufacturing these products. The idea was that FSSAI would do the needful in two to three days', the Delhi High Court said. FSSAI said it will DECIDE the matter by FRIDAY(31st October) "If you(FSSAI) are unable to do it, you move an application. I contemplate passing orders to restrain the manufacturers from manufacturing", the Court further said. I(Dr Sivaranjani Santosh) am surprised that even Reddy Laboratories has challenged the FSSAI's order of Oct 14th and 15th! Reddy Laboratories(RebalanzVitORS) and JNTL(Kenvue- Johnson&Johnson)(ORSL), please have some ethics, and some moral responsibility towards the children and people of this country. DISCLAIMERS CAN'T PROTECT DUBIOUS LABELS! NOT MANY IN OUR COUNTRY WILL EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT A DISCLAIMER IS! Zydus(GluconDActivORS) doesn't have a disclaimer also! MY FEAR IS THAT EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE LABEL (O CAN BECOME Q/D), THESE DRINKS AND OTHER HIGH DRINKS(HIMALAYA REHYDRATE, ELECTROCHOICE, ZINCOVITACTIVE etc), WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE PHARMACIES, HOSPITALS, AND SCHOOLS! There has to be a strong law to protect future generations aswell! Nothing except WHO recommended formula ORS and water should ever be available in the pharmacies, medical facilities, and schools! Otherwise, even if there is no ORS on the label, these high sugar liquids/stevia containing liquids/zero sugar liquids will be handed out to parents when they ask for ORS, especially in the rural areas! We can't allow a child to die because of worsening of diarrhoea due to these liquids! Awareness needs to be raised about the right way of preparing ORS solution using the ORS sachets. Awareness has to be raised about WHO recommended formula ORS. The instructions on the labels need to be in regional languages, in big font, and with pictorial representation as well(4.1 grams sachet in 200ml water and 20.5 grams sachet in one litre water. Discard after 24 hours. Never do random dispersal of a random amount of the salts in a random amount of water!) ORS/DRS/QRS etc should not be there on the labels of any drink ever even if it's being sold in the supermarkets/online e commerce platforms unless it conforms to the WHO recommended formula ORS. Let the 15th October FSSAI order be implemented with immediate effect. I am not against any company! I am against misleading labelling and selling of high sugar liquids/low sugar drinks/zero sugar drinks/other inappropriately formulated drinks to the parents when they ask for the LIFE SAVING ORS! The MoHFW has to take the 'STOP DIARRHOEA CAMPAIGN' TO EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF THE COUNTRY WITH A SENSE OF URGENCY TO STOP THE 50000 children from dying due to diarrhoea every year in the under five age group(earlier it was 1 to 3 lakhs), and GIVING OUT ONLY WHO RECOMMENDED FORMULA ORS SACHETS WITH CLEAR AWARENESS ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY OF PREPARING THE SOLUTION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! INDIA HAS THE BEST OF PROGRAMMES FOR CHILD HEALTH, BUT........ FSSAI Ministry of Health Jagat Prakash Nadda Narendra Modi
