Parliamentary Panel Urges Timely Finalization of Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling Rules
A parliamentary panel has urged the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to finalize Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL) regulations promptly. The panel highlighted delays since the draft notification in September 2022 and emphasized the need for simple, clear nutritional information, especially regarding sugar content, to help consumers make informed dietary choices. It noted that current labels rely on numerical data that may be difficult to understand and recommended interpretative tools like warning labels or color coding.
