India’s food regulator, FSSAI, orders online food platforms and quick commerce sellers to display required food labels and expiry information by September 30. FSSAI CEO Rajit Punhani says the regulator is preparing for stricter enforcement measures against online food sellers that do not comply.
According to FSSAI’s position as reported by NDTV, the deadline focuses on how products are presented digitally, including label and expiry details. The regulator indicates that it is moving toward tighter compliance checks and will implement the crackdown through enforcement actions after the deadline passes. Both reports frame this as part of broader efforts to strengthen oversight of food sold via online channels and quick commerce.
While the details provided in the two accounts emphasize the same compliance requirement and timing, they differ mainly in emphasis: one report highlights the overall need for platforms to show labels and expiry dates, while the other specifically refers to a crackdown on quick commerce. Both sources attribute the announcement to the FSSAI CEO in comments to NDTV Profit.
