Food Companies in India Voluntarily Add Health Labels Amid Regulatory Delay

Select Indian food companies like PepsiCo, ITC, Nestle, and iD Fresh Food have started voluntarily adding limited health information (sugar, salt, fat content) to front-of-pack labels, citing consumer demand for transparency. However, health experts argue that without standardized, mandatory labels across all products, these efforts will not effectively reduce unhealthy food consumption. The Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has pending regulations on the matter, with guidelines still undecided after over eight years of discussion.
