The Bureau of Indian Standards published a public alert for a recall of packaged drinking water sold under the Royal Challenge brand, manufactured by Adithya Foods, Old Alwal, Hyderabad, Telangana, under BIS licence 3357965 for IS 14543:2016.

This is a packaged drinking water brand of Adithya Foods, Hyderabad. It is unrelated to the whisky brand of the same name.
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: 0331. 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.
This is a record of official orders, not medical advice. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
