Regulatory Framework for Ayurveda Diet Explained by Ayush

The Ayush Ministry has formalized a regulatory structure for Ayurveda food under the Food Safety and Standards (Ayurveda Diet) Regulations, 2022. The rules introduce a Category‑A classification that sets strict guidelines for manufacturing, packaging, and labeling of Ayurvedic food products. The framework aims to ensure that information presented to consumers is accurate, verifiable, and consistent with traditional Ayurvedic standards.

By bringing the sector under a unified legal umbrella, the ministry hopes to foster consumer confidence, curb misinformation, and encourage manufacturers to adhere to responsible practices that protect public health.
