The court is pushing the government to finally introduce bold, visual warning labels on junk food packages; especially to protect kids. Why? Because obesity is now a national health crisis, and kids are getting hooked on snacks with sugar, salt, and fat hidden behind flashy packaging. The FSSAI has been dragging its feet for years on this. The court gave them two weeks to decide what these labels should look like; red octagons? Black triangles? Warning symbols? The goal: make health risks impossible to miss. This isn’t just about labeling; it’s about consumer rights, child health, and India’s willingness to adopt global standards without making excuses. If we can build rockets and digital payments, why can’t we put a clear ‘HIGH SUGAR’ label on a biscuit packet? The real story? India isn’t behind because it can’t; it’s behind because it hasn’t chosen to act. And now, the court is forcing that choice. This battle over food labels might seem small; but it’s about who gets to decide what’s on your child’s plate.
