Front-of-pack labels: Food Inc bats for per-serving benchmark in SC, not FSSAI’s ‘per 100 gm’ plan

The All-India Food Processors' Association has intervened in the Supreme Court regarding proposed nutrition labels. They seek labels based on per-serving consumption, not a uniform benchmark. This comes after the FSSAI proposed mandatory red hexagonal warning labels for certain packaged foods. The industry argues that different food categories should be assessed by normal consumption quantities. This approach could impact traditional foods and smaller businesses due to reformulation costs.
