Supreme Court reserves judgment on front-of-pack warning labels
In short
The Supreme Court has not given its final ruling yet on front-of-pack warning labels. It said its order will bind FSSAI, and all parties must file final written submissions within three days.
This matters because food labels may be changed by the final order. The reporting does not say what the court will decide or which label rules are being changed.
