Oral rehydration salts: PIL seeks action against pharma companies
The Hindu
They are selling products without conforming to World Health Organisation formula, it says
The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the government to consider as representation a petition seeking action against pharma companies for selling products as ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts) without conforming to World Health Organisation (WHO) formula. A bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh directed the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Delhi government to decide the representation by Rupa Singh, an Assistant Professor at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, in accordance with the law. Ms. Singh, who has an 8-year-old daughter, said she was sold ‘ORSL’ as an “ORS Liquid” solution by a local pharmacy in Delhi. Misled by the label, Ms. Singh administered the liquid to her daughter under the belief that she was administering her ‘ORS’.
