Implementation of the norms for softdrinks in the country is controlled by the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, which is a subject of the health ministry. The PFA is responsible for the potable water used in softdrinks and the standards vary from state to state. In the case of fruit-based softdrinks, it is the Fruit Products Order, which comes under the food processing ministry. As the government is seeking endorsement of the CSE report, experts have cautioned almost in one voice, presence of pesticides at such high levels can have very serious consequences to health if you are regular consumer of such drinks.
