This special report focuses on the controversy surrounding sugary beverages mislabeled as Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), featuring the eight-year-long battle led by paediatrician Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh against companies like JNTL, a Kenvue subsidiary spun-off from Johnson & Johnson. ‘The companies may be well within their means legally, but not morally and ethically,’ states Dr. Santosh, highlighting the core of the public health crisis. The FSSAI recently banned the use of the ‘ORS’ label on products not conforming to the WHO formula, but the Delhi High Court has granted a limited stay, allowing JNTL to represent its case against the order, citing stocks worth up to ₹180 crores. The report delves into the critical differences between the life-saving WHO-recommended ORS, a drug vital for treating diarrhoea which causes 13% of deaths in Indian children under five, and these high-sugar drinks that can worsen the condition.
