Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is expected to announce the draft Food Labelling regulations.
New regulations indicate that packaged food items across the country will carry large red labels specifying if the food is high on fats, sugar or salt (HFSS).
They aim to address claims like pure, real, natural and sugar-free which are labelled on the food products.
If >10% of the energy in the food is coming from sugar, it will have a red symbol.
Red label will also be mandatory if trans-fat provides more than 1% of Energy.
