India
May 12, 2025
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), announced the introduction of a new digital utility that enables consumers to directly report misleading claims made on food product labels.
FSSAI regulates the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and import of food articles, and also establishes standards to ensure food safety.
This initiative is part of FSSAI’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency, protect consumer rights and strengthen food safety regulations in the country, the statement added.
The tool facilitates easy submission of essential details such as front-of-pack images highlighting the misleading claim, the FSSAI license or registration number of the manufacturer, and the e-commerce URL if the product is being sold online.
