![FSSAI's proposed FOPNL will westernize Indian palate?](https://cdn.magzter.com/1373526680/1672939308/articles/Oefqu03p41673502454734/FSSAIS-PROPOSED-FOPNL-WILL-WESTERNIZE-INDIAN-PALATE.jpg)
These Western MNCs are collaborating with large retail companies and big distributors to capture the market.
- A study of Indian delicacies from different parts of the country reveals FOPNL's unscientific design
- By narrowly judging Indian delicacies, health star rating system (HSR) discredits Indian ethnic foods like never before, making it a grand design to Westernize Indian Palate
- Reconstituted western packaged foods poised to take over the Indian market and make a huge dent in Indian Food and Cuisine
- Government-backed judgement of local foods will severely hurt the sentiments and business of crores of producers and sellers whose livelihoods depend on Indian foods
- Indian Sellers Collective, an umbrella body of trade associations and sellers across the country, today released the findings of a study of favourite Indian foods as per the guidelines of the star rating method under the FOPNL (Frontof-Pack Nutrition Labelling) regulation proposed by FSSAI.
Findings of the study reveal shocking flaws in the method, as a large section of delicacies that Indians have loved to eat and gift for centuries, would be instantly made to look unfit for human consumption. This is because of the narrow and unscientific lens through which the proposed star rating system evaluates foods.
