Warning Labels or Government Inaction: Which Will Prevail? The Supreme Court has issued an ultimatum to the Indian government over its delay in introducing front of pack warning labels for packaged foods.
The court, reiterating its previous stance on this issue, has given the Centre a two week deadline to take a final decision.
If no action is taken, it will have to intervene, making it clear that consumers are stakeholders who deserve accurate information about their food. The court's frustration with the government's inaction is palpable.
