Supreme Court slams FSSAI for not introducing front-of-pack warning labels on packaged food products
The Supreme Court criticized the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) for failing to implement front-of-pack warning labels on packaged foods that indicate sugar, salt, and saturated fat levels. The court's remarks followed a petition from the Kerala-based NGO, 3S and Our Health Society, urging the Centre to take action on this public health issue. Justice J.B. Pardiwala emphasized the importance of children's health and questioned the FSSAI's inaction despite prior orders.
