Supreme Court pressures government on nutrition warning labels

During a recent hearing, the Supreme Court questioned the central government and FSSAI about delays in implementing front‑of‑pack nutrition warnings, especially for products aimed at children. The bench, led by Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K. Vinod Chandran, sought details on steps taken so far and demanded that consumer health be given priority over commercial interests. The court warned that any further postponement could invite stronger directives.
