Supreme Court to Review Front-of-Pack Food Warning Labels in India
India's Supreme Court will review front-of-pack labelling (FOPL) regulations for foods high in sugar, salt, and fat on September 10, 2026. The court has urged the government and FSSAI to finalize mandatory warning labels, prompting some major food companies to express readiness to comply. Public health advocates seek clearer label standards, including concerns about label color and coverage of products high in single ingredients. Officials emphasize that effective FOPL should help consumers make informed choices amid rising nutrition-related health issues.
