Bhabha Atomic Research Centre published the samples\nreflecting high levels of 27% bromated in bottled water samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new standards of bottled water\nset by the FSSAI licensing authority assumed that this contaminated water could\nbe found in the water in certain cases and set the limits of the percentage of\nbromate in the bottled water. FSSAI has to be kept in mind ground realities\nbefore setting up the bromate percentage in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suggestion_Given_by_World_Health_Organization\"><\/span>Suggestion Given by World Health Organization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nWorld Health Organization (WHO) put some light on the &#8220;bromate\nproposal&#8221; and suggested that toxic restrictions ideally should not be\npresent at all in drinking water. In countries such as the US and the European\nUnion, there were some restrictions in laboratories in the year 2005 based on\nlimited capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These\ncountries set the use of the bromate limit at 10% in one liter to make it\neasier to detect the presence of bromate in laboratory tests. The World Health\nOrganization has suggested that the use of bromate should be in drinking water\nwithin a specified range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FSSAI_Updated_the_List_of_Additives\"><\/span>FSSAI Updated the List of Additives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nFSSAI updated the list of additives for which the draft was placed in the\npublic domain. After the completion of this standard-setting exercise for\napproximately 11,000 additives, all issues that arose from discrepancies in\nvertical standards, such as packaged water, were automatically taken care of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nlist of additives ultimately surpassed all existing vertical standards of\nadditives &amp; toxins.

The use of\nbromate in a standard manner will never harm the health of people and cause\ncancer; it will always help the packaged drinking water to remain fresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of additives was finalized by FSSAI along with their level of maximum use, which does not deal with toxins.
