FSSAI Expands Enforcement on Food Labels, Restaurants, and Quick-Commerce Platforms
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is intensifying enforcement across the food supply chain, targeting misleading labels, advertising claims, and safety practices in restaurants, quick-commerce platforms, and packaged foods. This includes increased inspections, proposed front-of-pack warning labels for high sugar, salt, and fat products, and stricter compliance requirements for online food orders. The regulator aims to enhance transparency and food safety, prompting companies to revise labels and improve documentation amid rising compliance costs and operational scrutiny.
