A new consumer survey finds that around 80% of respondents want front-of-pack warning labels on food products that are high in sugar, salt or fat. The request covers foods that exceed limits for at least one of these nutrients.
The outlets report that the survey preference is for warning labels to be applied from the outset rather than waiting for a later rollout. NDTV specifies that respondents want the labels “from the beginning” and not under FSSAI’s second-phase approach, indicating dissatisfaction with a delayed timeline for implementation. India Today similarly highlights the broad consumer desire for warnings when any one of the three nutrients is high.
Overall, both reports converge on the same finding—strong consumer support for front-of-pack warnings—and differ mainly in how they frame the timing and reference FSSAI’s phased proposal.
