The Bureau of Indian Standards published a public alert for a recall of packaged drinking water sold under the Pura brand, manufactured by Rio Beverages Company, Kandlapalle, Ranga Reddy, Telangana, under BIS licence 6300011377 for IS 14543:2016. The order is dated 12 Dec 2022. The order PDF is a scanned image and the non-conforming parameter could not be read from it. The alert covers lot S1222, 1 L PET bottles, manufacturing date 12-09-2022.

BIS issues such alerts when a sample drawn under its certification scheme fails one or more requirements of the Indian Standard, and it directs the licensee to withdraw the affected lot and inform the public.

A BIS recall is separate from FSSAI's recall system. It does not, on its own, indicate an FSSAI licence suspension or prohibition, and it applies only to the lot named in the order.

What this means for you

What a BIS recall is

BIS certifies products against Indian Standards under the ISI mark. When a factory or market sample fails the standard, BIS directs the licensee to recall the affected lot and publishes a public alert.

Check the lot

Only the lot named in the order is recalled: S1222. Other lots of the same brand are not covered by this alert.

It is not an FSSAI action

BIS recalls run under the BIS Act, 2016, separately from FSSAI's FoSCoS recall system. A BIS alert does not by itself mean an FSSAI licence action.
