Laws, Procedures & Rules for Energy Drink Manufacturing Companies in India

The Energy Drink industry began operating all over the world in the 1980’s, and ever since, has been the preferred choice for anyone looking for a temporary surge in energy and physical adrenaline. Energy drinks initially began evolving when the brands Pepsi and Coca-cola began selling their products to the market. Interestingly, Coca-cola’s name was sourced from two of its primary ingredients, namely coca leaves and kola nuts, which were both energy stimulants. One thing that was out of place when it came to Coca-cola was that it was very high in caffeine content, and this was in violation of the Pure Food and Drug Act in the USA, back in the 1900’s. Eventually, a federal lawsuit was filed against Coca-cola in the case of United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-cola 241 U.S. 265 (1916), which led to the company reducing the composition of caffeine in their formula by 1916. Similarly, when it comes to setting up a company dealing in energy drinks, certain compliances, apart from the usual compliances under the Companies Act, 2013, have to be followed.
