    Red Bull Challenges FSSAI Order to Stop Using 'Energy Drink' Label

    Red Bull has moved the Delhi High Court against an order by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to stop using the term 'energy drink' on its products.

The court has allowed FSSAI to pass a fresh order after issuing a show-cause notice to Red Bull and giving it a chance to be heard.
