Supreme Court Pushes Central Govt to Finalise FOPL: What It Means & Why It Matters? | Explained

Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are now everyday realities in Indian households. A key driver? Ultra-processed, high-sugar, high-salt packaged foods. To combat this, the Supreme Court has asked the Centre and FSSAI to finalise Front-of-Pack Labels (FOPL)—bold, visible nutrition warnings meant to help consumers make healthier choices. These labels will flag sugar, salt, and fat content using easy formats like color codes or star ratings. With the July 9 deadline missed, FSSAI has been granted more time. Will clearer labels lead to better health?
