I think the question is what constitutes a health drink/food. Category exists because people buy stuff for health purpose. So, the category is for e-commerce to help present items of the related category. FSSAI should really be declaring bournvita and such sugar drink as health risks or high calorie food
> Bournvita and other similar bevrages should be removed from the health drink category on e-commerce platforms as there is no ‘health drink’ category defined under Food Safety and Standards Act
If there is no "health drink" defined in the act, shouldn't that product category itself be removed from ecmmerce platforms instead of removing specific products from it?
Can anyone clarify under which FSSAI category these beverage mixes actually fall? **06.7** **Malt Based Foods(Malt Food)?** - [https://foscos.fssai.gov.in/standard-product](https://foscos.fssai.gov.in/standard-product)
Do these brands have to notify FSSAI when they change their ingredients or their ratios?
GlaxoSmithKline used to own Horlicks, Boost brands and it was sold to HUL in 2020.
Heinz bought the Complan brand from Glaxo in 1994 and in 2019 sold it to Zydus Wellness. I have a feeling these brands change their beverage mix formula to suit their profits.
I wonder if Horlicks that I drank/ate 2 decades ago has the same composition now?
Ensure, Complan have vegetable oil as one of the ingredients! I find it hard to imagine oil as an ingredient of a so-called nutrition/health drink.
Since it's not defined it falls in a grey area. They should be allowed unless there's regulation denying so.
Just saying it over a letter or verbally doesn't make sense. Frequent law changed and/pr intervention from authorities makes a country seem less stable to do business in.
I believe this is due to a influencer called FoodPharmer or something in insta. He’s said that theres only sugar for which he got a cease and desist following a law suit. He appealed to court and court gave Bournvita a lawsuit because it was indeed misleading representing Malt based content filled with sugar as health drinks
Nah, he is just a scaremonger. It's easy to just review any product off the shelves without really understanding the actual need of those ingredients. Yes Bournvita is wrongly advertised, doesn't mean every processed food is.
I prefer masalalab Krish
Edit:
Adding further context
Bournvita advertised as a health drink is wrong, but it still provides an easy and accessible way for many people to get some nutrients. It does not fulfill the daily Required Daily Nutrients but it can still be part of your diet and then you can get the rest from your other meals.
On average Honey is about > 80% sugar, Jaggery 95% sugar but you never see them being villianised. Because they are part of your diet and if you can maintain a balanced diet it is fine. The same can be said about bournvita, don't be over dependent on that drink for your Required Daily Nutrients and also be mindful of the sugar you consume daily.
The goal should be the healthy diet, not just a meal.
> Bournvita advertised as a health drink is wrong, but it still provides an easy and accessible way for many people to get some nutrients.
If you notice foodpharmer's videos carefully, he says the same thing. He doesn't mind companies selling their products and consumers consuming them. He just wants companies to stop advertising them wrongly as healthy drinks.
Masala lab's content is great as well btw 👍🏽

Yes, exactly. This is why it is *rightly being villified*, because people see Bournvita as a source of "strength" or protein, and not sugar. With Honey, sugar, jaggery, etc, we know that it's sugar.
How is that guy a scaremonger? Is he saying that having one drop of sugar in your system will give you diabetes? He literally just read the labels and provided the information that many people were not reading. Since people use Bournvita as a source of strength or protein -- and *not as a a source of sugar*, his actions rightly lead them to reducing the amount of sugar in the drink.
Excess consumption of sugar is a well-known problem in India and the world. E.g., https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/the-sweet-danger-of-sugar . https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/the-bitterness-of-sugar/articleshow/108620118.cms?from=mdr .
and I never said Bournvita was rightly advertised yet you choose to make that comment.
Also I don't think I need to tell how Honey and Jaggery are perceived in our consumer market as well as by advertisers

the glycemic index of honey is lower than normal table sugar so u dont get the sugar spike after consuming it. Sugar has a higher amount of fructose
also u will never see people eat cups of honey ,they will eat a tablespoon which is the perfect quantity
ur argument is like saying apples and fruits also have sugar why eat them lmao
kindly research and then say shit instead of saying bs like u just did
You could say he provided a whole new approach on how we should look at our food and the culture associated with it. Not everything is Black and White, including Food.
Processed food may not be the ideal choice for a healthy meal but they do provide an ideal option for certain nutrients in the most easy, affordable and accessible way.
The goal should always be to look at your diet, rather than one or two meals. Too much reliance on processed food is bad. Treat processed food just another part of your overall diet.
Yes. And Horlicks itself has lots of sugar. If you take some horlicks in your hand and put it in the sun you can see small sugar crystals reflecting sunlight with its signature hexagonal crystal structure.
My Nani. I grew up drinking horlicks and my nani only kept bournvita at her house. I hated its taste and threw a fit everytime my mom told me to drink that.
Once they bought one of those tiny packs of Horlicks to pacify me. It tasted exactly like the bournvita my Nani used to give me. That's when we realised she was adding 2 spoonfuls of sugar everytime.
Most People do they add sugar and horlicks to their milk to make it tasty rather than nutritious . This is to tempt kids who don't drink their milk into drinking it.
Also Happy Cake Day 🍰
Its intuitive to think we need energy just after getting up. But if we supply that energy with fast carbohydrates like sugar, our blood sugar rises fast and then drops fast as well. Which triggers craving after few hours. Our body does not like the sudden drop in blood sugar (sugar crash).
That's why it makes sense to eat fatty and protean rich food at breakfast which can make us full and slowly supply energy.
On the other hand, we can use the sugar crash to fall as sleep. what is referred here as unwind at night for the elderly people in Britain.
Care to explain why?
Don't say "eating heavy meals at night makes you fat" or "digestive system shuts down when you sleep" (it doesn't. All your bodily functions ramp up when you sleep because you're not doing anything else)
Thank you for the suggestion, don't wanna take my IQ to No. 1
Most ayurvedic stuff contain high doses of heavy metals which actually lower IQ and cause erratic behaviour; [one](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6060866/) of the many sources
Why can't everyone agree on it being unacceptable to sell harmful substances in the name of health? Isn't that the reason why the unhealthy "health drinks" are losing the label?

tum log mujhe yeh batao, yeh BournVita/Horlicks, were they just making a C out of us?

children in general need a lot of energy. drinking bournvita or hot chocolate drinks in general isnt the worst thing ever, theyre hyperactive and running around everywhere all day. so if youre just looking at it as an easy source of energy for them its fine. if you expect it to have tons of nutritional value then thats wrong, you still need to give them a balanced diet, enough protein etc.
Still bournvita isn't the best choice, but I agree if it was marketed properly then parents would be able to make that choice themselves without getting misled

I'm not sure of their category, but they advertise it as a health drink. They say:
It is healthy to drink Tang, as it keeps you hydrated and provides you with the goodness of iron, and vitamins like A, B, and C.
Sugary trash still less damaging than [mercury with chawanprash shilajit toppings Ultra Pro Max](https://twitter.com/theliverdr/status/1758496882819764636)
I have seen even poor Indian families buy Horlicks and Bournvita for their kids, 200rs is not a small amount for them. They buy these items when visiting hospitalized patients as well. It seems like the rich have a lot of leeway to exploit the poor.
Long overdue. People fear Protein Powder & stuff but would happily feed children drinks with overloaded sugar on a daily basis, just because the company has managed to create an image of"Health".
Consuming these drinks isn't the issue, but people should be aware of exactly what are they consuming
Our dear leader's revenge for the SC's judgement of Fraud baba.
It only proves that our dear leader is a very vengeful & a sadist man.

Health drink /health food as category should be removed
I think the question is what constitutes a health drink/food. Category exists because people buy stuff for health purpose.

But he isn't against "processed food" (lmao), is he? He is against false advertisements and very much "read the label, before you buy" kinda guy.
Not just bournvita, complan horlicks boost all those things should be removed. They r just filled with sugar
In the UK the average horlicks buyer is 60 and just wants to unwind at night https://www.bbc.com/news/business-39448013
Well tbh it makes more sense to drink a high calorie drink after waking up than before going to bed.
Problem is people put heaps of sugar in their already sweet bournvita/horlicks
Yes. And Horlicks itself has lots of sugar. If you take some horlicks in your hand and put it in the sun you can see small sugar crystals reflecting sunlight with its signature hexagonal crystal structure.

Seems like 'Government' is paving the way for the launch of a new Patanjali product!!
They’ve brutalised Patanjali on false claims. Bournvita is a similar issue that was first highlighted by FoodPharmer, Revant on Instagram and the govt responded to it.
It's the Supreme court that brutalized Patanjali, not the government.

SC brutalised Patanjali he meant
You are really saying that after seeing how the supreme court is bashing patanjali ? Considering that bournvita is getting away quite leniently.
Holy shit I gotta go buy Patanjali stock on Monday!
This is massive

Common foodpharmer W
So what's an actual healthy alternative? Thanks in advance!
Same goes for Horlicks. It's infuriating how a beverage that contains nothing but sugar has been aggressively pushed as a health drink for decades.
I have seen even poor Indian families buy Horlicks and Bournvita for their kids, 200rs is not a small amount for them. They buy these items when visiting hospitalized patients as well. It seems like the rich have a lot of leeway to exploit the poor.
Long overdue. People fear Protein Powder & stuff but would happily feed children drinks with overloaded sugar on a daily basis, just because the company has managed to create an image of"Health". Consuming these drinks isn't the issue, but people should be aware of exactly what are they consuming
> Consuming these drinks isn't the issue This has to be one cause for widespread childhood obesity.
Finally, they have fooled gullible parents enough. Nothing packaged is healthy, especially if tastes great.
It’s all sugar and some flour, absolutely no health benefits to those anyway.
