Supreme Court Questions FSSAI Warning Label Rollout and Timeline

The Supreme Court criticized the FSSAI's two-phase rollout of front-of-pack warning labels, warning that delays could indefinitely postpone the second phase.

The court directed the regulator to establish a scientifically justified timeline and consider an alternative model prioritizing highest nutrient thresholds.

The bench also asked the Union government to incorporate nutritional literacy into school curricula to help children decode food labels.
