What are the FSSAI regulations for caffeine added to food supplements?

FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) has established regulations for adding caffeine to food supplements. The maximum permissible limit of caffeine in food supplements is 300mg per day per serving, which should not be exceeded. The label of the food supplement must indicate the amount of caffeine present in each serving, along with any other ingredients and warnings.

Additionally, FSSAI has established guidelines for labelling and packaging food supplements containing caffeine. The label must clearly state that the product contains caffeine, and any health claims or statements must be backed by scientific evidence. The packaging should also be tamper-proof and must include information on how to use the product safely.

It must be noted that excessive caffeine consumption can have adverse health effects, such as insomnia, jitteriness, and increased heart rate. Therefore, consuming caffeine-containing food supplements in moderation and as per the recommended serving size is recommended. Individuals sensitive to caffeine or with underlying medical conditions should consult with a healthcare professional before consuming such products [1, 2].
