With increasing concerns in recent times, packaged drinking water in India has become one of the major concerns, especially because of the fast-growing market of bottled water. To put it more in perspective, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, FSSAI, took a step forward in announcing that packaged drinking water falls under the 'high risk' category of foods. In its order, the FSSAI said, "As a consequence of the omission of the mandatory Bureau of India certification for certain products, it has been decided that 'Packaged Drinking Water and Mineral Water' will be treated under 'High-Risk Food Categories." The FSSAI order also added, "It is reiterated that all centrally licensed manufacturers under high-risk food categories shall get their business audited annually by an FSSAI-recognized third-party food safety auditing agency. The list of high-risk food categories now also includes packaged drinking water and mineral water."
