FSSAI Expands Enforcement, Targets Food Labels and Quick-Commerce Compliance
India's Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) is intensifying enforcement across the food supply chain, targeting misleading labels, advertising claims, and storage conditions. Over 150 notices have been issued to major food, beverage, dairy, and nutraceutical companies for violations. The regulator is expanding oversight to include quick-commerce and e-commerce platforms, requiring greater accountability. Proposed front-of-pack warning labels for foods high in sugar, salt, and fat may impact packaging and marketing, prompting companies to revise compliance and internal controls.
