Front-of-pack warning label on food & beverage high in sugar and salt sought
The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|June 04, 2025
A coalition of India's 29 leading public health and consumer organisations on Tuesday urged the Centre to mandate front-of-pack warning labels on pre-packaged food and beverage products high in sugar, salt, and saturated fat (HFSS).
The leading public health leaders gave the call for warning labels responding to the mounting evidence of health risks posed by HFSS and ultra-processed food products.
Prof K Srinath Reddy, Honorary Distinguished Professor and Goodwill Ambassador of Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) for Public Health Partnerships, who has been a longstanding voice in India's public health landscape, said: "India cannot afford to wait while non-communicable diseases (NCDs) escalate and children become marketing targets. Warning labels are simple, effective, and evidence-based."
