The Supreme Court has urged stakeholders to consider front-of-pack warning labels for packaged foods high in salt, sugar, and fat, emphasizing the health of children. This comes as the court reviews a plea for mandatory warning labels, with the FSSAI having already proposed a system of prominent red hexagonal labels. The court aims to ensure clearer information for consumers, especially parents, to make informed choices about unhealthy and ultra-processed foods.
