India proposes front-of-pack warning labels on packaged food, in response to consumer concerns
XLP•India food regulator proposes warning labels on packaged food
NEW DELHI, Aug. 28 (Reuters) - India's food regulator has proposed front-of-pack warning labels on packaged food products, a court filing showed, reversing its position following growing public anger about a lack of information on labels.
The regulator has proposed a red-coloured hexagonal shape for food products which are high in any two or more nutrients — fat, sugar or salt — it said in a court filing, which is not public.
Reuters is first to report the court filing.
