Supreme Court to Review Front-of-Pack Warning Labels on Packaged Foods in India
The Supreme Court of India will review the implementation of front-of-pack warning labels on packaged foods high in sugar, salt, or fat on September 10, 2026. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has proposed a phased rollout requiring warnings only when products are high in two or more nutrients initially. Petitioners, including 3S and Our Health Society, seek immediate, comprehensive labeling for products high in any single nutrient, clearer label designs, and defined timelines to ensure full enforcement and better consumer awareness.
