FSSAI proposes single-phase rollout of front-of-pack nutrition labelling
FSSAI has proposed a single-phase rollout of Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL) for packaged foods high in salt, sugar, or fat. In an affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, the regulator suggested a red hexagon warning label specifying the nutrient exceeding thresholds. This is significant as it addresses public health and consumer rights, and reflects FSSAI's regulatory approach under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The Supreme Court's involvement highlights judicial scrutiny of food labelling policies.
