'You don't want people of this country to remain healthy': SC pulls up FSSAI, Centre over front-of-pack warning labels

Wait 5 sec.

The Supreme Court has strongly criticized the government and FSSAI for delaying warning labels. These labels are intended for packaged foods high in sugar, salt, and fat. The court emphasized protecting citizens' health, especially that of children. It questioned the Union's reluctance and potential corporate pressure influencing decisions. The government has been given two weeks to finalize its decision on the matter.
