Sugar and color differences match labels. Indian Fanta uses more sugar and artificial color than the French version.
Why we say that›
Indian Fanta has 10 teaspoons sugar per 300 ml versus 4 in Europe with natural color only.
The sugar amounts, calorie counts and coloring agents are confirmed by direct label checks and official data. Regulatory differences between EU precautionary rules and Indian limits also hold. The call for India to adopt French standards is an opinion that follows from the facts shown.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
