India is debating new warning labels for packaged food, with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India proposing a red hexagon on products high in added sugar, salt or saturated fat. In this video, Firstpost examines why health experts say the proposal is too weak, while food companies argue that the limits are too strict. The video also looks at India’s rising overweight and obesity numbers, growing consumption of ultra-processed food and warning-label systems used in countries including Chile, Israel, the United Kingdom and France. It also examines the industry’s concerns over reference serving sizes and why the debate ultimately centres on how clearly consumers are informed about what they eat. Hem Saroya tells you more.
