FSSAI methanol limit

Under India's Food Safety and Standards (Alcoholic Beverages) Regulations 2018, the maximum methanol content permitted in legally produced and sold spirits is 50 mg/100 mL. Concentrations above this in a seized spirit sample constitute evidence of adulteration or the use of denatured spirit as a base.
