Front-of-pack nutrition labelling to be rolled out in single phase, FSSAI tells Supreme Court
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) informed the Supreme Court that front-of-pack nutrition labelling (FOPNL) will be implemented in a single phase, not multiple phases. FSSAI sought four months to issue and finalise draft regulations under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. This is significant as it addresses public health concerns over misleading labels and aims to empower consumers to make healthier food choices. For exams, this highlights regulatory reforms in food safety, consumer protection, and public health policy.
