India Drops Colour-Coded Food Warning Labels After Industry Pushback; Supreme Court Scrutinises Move

India’s food regulator FSSAI has dropped plans for colour-coded health warnings on packaged foods after industry opposition, Reuters reported. The regulator instead proposed black-and-white nutrition tables showing sugar, fat and salt levels. Public health activists have challenged the move in the Supreme Court, seeking clearer labels as experts warn about rising obesity risks among Indians.
