To tackle growing cases of obesity, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is in the process of making it mandatory for all companies to publish sugar, high fat, and oil content on their packets with red ink. According to the body, placing key nutrient information on the front of packaged foods can help consumers make informed food choices.

Confirming the move, a senior officer from FSSAI, Maharashtra, said, "FSSAI is in discussions with higher authorities to make it compulsory for food companies across the country. Recently, a meeting was held to finalise the matter. Once it gets the nod, all food packets will have labels on the front for better visibility."
