Packet ke Andar Kya Hai( What is inside the packet) This is question to what we wanted an answer to firstpost.com/health/fssai-p… -The Supreme Court agreed and asked FSSAI for a simple warning label on packaged foods indicating High in sugar, salt & fat. - @fssaiindia 's response? A numerical table that forces consumers to do math at the supermarket shelf. This is not compliance but defiance. -The SC explicitly said the exercise so far had "not yielded any positive or good result." It gave FSSAI 4 weeks to revert, 6 months later, FSSAI files an affidavit that Abandons warning labels, Avoids defining HFSS foods and Ignores the SC's clear direction Why? FSSAI bows down to food industry. On March 19, FSSAI held a stakeholder consultation where "most industry bodies opposed warning labels." The industry doesn't want warnings, because warnings WORK. -And FSSAI did not think public health is important when it comes to trade/marketing of unhealthy food products. -Meanwhile, a new Mumbai study done by Gen Z published in ‘World Nutrition’ just proved: Warning Labels helped 80% of adolescents choose healthy food. It’s Peer-reviewed. Irrefutable. -FSSAI's tabular proposal is not informed choice as it claims to be . That's a homework assignment. #WarningLabelsNow #PacketKeAndarKyaHai #HFSS @RemaNagarajan @Mukesh_k @sayantanbera @KavitaDatt @chetanabelagere @SumiSukanya @SHAMBHAVIET @ratnabhushanET @nehabhatt70 @vivekbhavsar @samzsays @AnujaJaiswalTOI @MeghaUpadhyay_ @Banjotkaur @sonalkhetarpal7 @dawalelo @RPrasad12 @AnuradhaRaman2 @PTI_News @AnirbanET @ANI @Teensthack @skandvivek @zubeda_h @RujutaDiwekar @virsanghvi @ravishndtv @foodpharmer2 @chetanecostani @BShajan @AskDrShashank @d_s_thakur @AnantBhan @NAPiIndia @PhilBakerNZ @CMonteiro_USP @MarkLawrence_Oz @GyorgyScrinis @SBarquera @DoctorChrisVT @dr_sivaranjani @CMonteiro_USP @TheLancet @PMOIndia @NITIAayog

Look at the advertisement of Nutri Choice Biscuits: Junk Food Product The Britannia Nutrichoice Digestive High Fibre Biscuit is High in added sugars(12.1g), total fats (20.8g) and sodium (362 mg )per 100g as per NIN Guidelines for Indians. As per NOVA classification it is Ultra-Processed Food product containing emulsifier, invert sugar syrup, raising agents, malt extract, artificial flavouring substances and dough conditioner. These biscuits cannot be considered healthy. Yet advertised as a ‘healthy’ and ‘good choice’ on World Health Day and endorsed by none other than Amir Khan. Question : Shouldn’t Junk Food Ads Go Off Print & Air? Appreciate your response !!

tribuneindia.com/news/india/… @thetribunechd @Amul_Coop This amounts to promotion of infant formula which is prohibited. And the Teddy bear on the label is also prohibited @Amul_Coop Why it is so difficult to abide by the law ? @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @PMOIndia Must look into

Here is my Opinion in the @the_hindu where I talk about flaws in existing regulations that aim to control front of the pack labelling and advertising of ultra processed food products/HFSS or Junk food. It’s not fair to public health. @virsanghvi @shekharkapur @NAPiIndia
