βοΈ SC grills FSSAI on food label details
The Supreme Court has directed the FSSAI to provide detailed specifications for front-of-pack food warning labels. Justices J B Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran asked 13 questions regarding the shape, size, and colour of these labels. The court questioned the regulator's two-phase implementation plan, which involves a red hexagon warning. Furthermore, the SC emphasized that the 'unholiness' of food comes from the total nutrient value, not just added amounts. FSSAI has been given 10 days to answer these critical queries. π§
