Thanks to Dr Shivaranjini Santosh, after eight years of persistent petitions and numerous challenges, public health has achieved a significant victory. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a clear directive: only formulas approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) may be labelled as ORS. FSSAI’s clarification means that only products meeting WHO standards can carry the label Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). This change prevents companies from using the ORS label on their products unless the formula is scientifically validated. In the past, items such as fruit drinks or ready-to-consume beverages could use the ORS label if they included a disclaimer stating they were not WHO-recommended. For those unfamiliar, ORS is a simple but life-saving solution made by dissolving salt and sugar in clean water. It is commonly used to treat dehydration resulting from severe diarrhoea, heat stroke, or other conditions that cause fluid loss. Although highly effective, improper use of ORS can be dangerous, which makes accurate labelling essential. This regulatory shift follows paediatrician Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh’s determined eight-year campaign to ensure that only scientifically backed products are allowed to use the ORS label. She welcomed the decision, emphasizing that products can no longer misuse the term or be sold without meeting WHO criteria. #PublicHealthVictory #ORSStandards #FSSAIUpdate #SafeHydration #WHOApproved #HealthRegulations #ConsumerAwareness #LabelItRight #ScienceBasedMedicine #DrSivaranjaniSantosh #IndiaHealthPolicy #DehydrationRelief #HealthAdvocacy #TruthInLabeling #ProtectPublicHealth
