A parliamentary panel has urged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to promptly finalise Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL) regulations to provide consumers with clear, easy-to-understand nutritional information, especially regarding sugar content. The panel highlighted delays since the 2022 draft notification and stressed the need for simplified labels, such as warning or color-coded indicators. It also recommended stricter regulation and regular inspections of sugar levels in infant food products to address health risks.
