GUWAHATI: The prohibition notification issued earlier prohibiting the manufacture, storage, distribution and sale of bottled mineral water of Bisleri brand (with added minerals) in Assam has been withdrawn.
Earlier, the Food Safety Department of Assam had shut down the Bisleri plant in Kamalpur and banned the sale of Bisleri mineral packaged drinking water from that plant in the state with immediate effect in September.
A government press communiqué stated that the ban has been lifted after the fresh Analysis Report issued by the Food Analyst to the Government of Assam stated that the sample conforms to the prescribed standards as laid down in Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Additives) Regulations, 2011 with respect to tests carried out.
