The Supreme Court of India has instructed the FSSAI to implement front-of-pack nutrition labels on packaged foods to encourage healthier choices and address the obesity crisis. Milind Deora supports this initiative, emphasizing the need for regulations on both foreign and Indian unhealthy snacks. The Union Health Ministry backs these efforts to modify dietary habits nationwide.
A PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court by a non-profit organization seeking mandatory Front-of-Package Warning Labels on packaged foods to disclose levels of sugars, salt, and saturated fats. The initiative aims to address the increasing rates of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart disease in India.
