health ๐จ India's food labels might turn red soon ๐ด
FSSAI has proposed introducing prominent red hexagonal warning labels on packaged foods. This change is aimed at helping consumers make better food choices across India. The proposal was detailed in a compliance affidavit filed before the Supreme Court. The labels will flag products high in any two or more of added saturated fat, added sugar, or salt, based on 2024 Dietary Guidelines. The implementation will happen in phases to allow industry time for reformulation.
