Food Safety and Standards Authority of India wants clearer safety limits for tea.
Proposed limits: twenty parts per million for acetamiprid, fifty parts per million for imidacloprid.
Limits are set after looking at science and what other nations use.
Goal: keep tea tasty and safe while still protecting tea plants from pests.
The limits say only a very small amount of acetamiprid (twenty parts per million) and imidacloprid (fifty parts per million) can stay on the tea.
These numbers are lower than in some other countries, so the tea should be safer to drink.
The rules are based on scientific studies and aim to protect both crops and consumers.
