🚨 FOOD ALERT! INDIA SETS NEW RULES FOR PACKAGED SNACKS! 🧂🍟🍫
ICMR + FSSAI = A Healthier Future! 💪🍽️

In a landmark move, the FSSAI will now officially adopt ICMR-NIN’s definition of HFSS (High in Fat, Sugar, or Salt) foods for the very first time! 🎯

🧠 Why it matters:
These nutrients of concern — salt, sugar & fat — when consumed in excess, increase the risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and more.

📘 Based on the Dietary Guidelines for Indians 2024, the new framework:
✅ Defines what qualifies as HFSS
✅ Sets thresholds for salt, sugar, and fat
✅ Flags many ultra-processed foods (UPFs)
✅ Lays the groundwork for Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling (FOPNL)

🛑 Translation? No more hiding behind flashy packaging!
Clear, visible labels will help you make smarter choices right from the shelf.

📅 Coming soon by mid-July, as directed by the Supreme Court!

🧃 Your snack decisions may never be the same again — and that’s a good thing. 💚

🛑 INDIA MUST REPLACE HEALTH STARS WITH WARNING LABELS 🛑
“LET CHILDREN SEE THE SUGAR—BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.”

Prime Minister Modi’s appeal to reduce sugar intake among children comes at a critical moment, as India grapples with a junk food epidemic. Dr. Arun Gupta, Pediatrician and Convenor of NAPi, urges the government to reject the flawed Health Star Rating (HSR) system and instead adopt bold, front-of-pack warning labels for High in Sugar, Salt, Fat, or Energy (HFSS) foods.

⚠️ Why? Because:

HSR masks dangers by averaging nutrients.

In Australia, it failed to reduce sugar or fat in products.

In Chile, warning labels led to a 24% drop in sugary drink purchases and rapid product reformulation.

Misleading visuals and stars are exploited by big food brands to market junk as “healthy.”

🔍 The Hon’ble Supreme Court has now directed a final decision within 3 months. This is a historic chance to prioritize public health and empower consumers with the right to know what’s really in their food.

👉 Maggi, Kurkure & many such products deserve 3 warning labels—not 2 or 3 stars.
👉 The PM’s words must now lead to bold policy action, not vague star ratings.

Let us STOP sugarcoating the truth.
Let’s give our children the real information—loud, clear, and honest.
