The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has proposed prominent red hexagon warning labels on the front of packaged food products containing high levels of sugar, salt and fat. The proposed system aims to help consumers quickly identify foods that may pose health risks when consumed excessively. The labels would provide clear, easy-to-understand warnings before purchase, improving transparency about nutritional content. The move is part of efforts to encourage healthier food choices and address rising concerns over lifestyle-related health problems. The proposal could significantly change how packaged foods are labelled and marketed in India.
