Supreme Court directs Centre to expedite food labeling rules
The Supreme Court has issued a stern warning to the Centre, mandating the introduction of front-of-pack warning labels on packaged food items containing high levels of sugar, salt, and saturated fats within a fortnight. The bench raised concerns about whether corporate influence is hindering the process, emphasizing that the well-being of consumers—particularly children—should be the primary focus. The court further cautioned that it would issue additional directives if the government fails to comply.
