NEW DELHI: All strains of probiotics being used in India will now have to be deposited in an internationally recognized culture collection/repository for future reference. More than that, in order to assure safety for humans, even for the group of bacteria that are "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS), all probiotic strains will have to be tested to assess their undesirable side-effects.If the strain under evaluation belongs to a species that is a known mammalian toxin producer, it has to be studied on humans before it's made available in the market.
