Review order on micro/nano plastics warning labels on bottled water, sugar, and salt, FSSAI urges Madras HC
India’s food safety regulator, the FSSAI, has asked the Madras High Court to reconsider a directive that requires warning labels on bottled water, sugar and salt indicating the presence of micro‑ and nano‑plastics. The agency argues that such labeling could incite public panic, noting that scientific evidence on health impacts remains limited and inconclusive at present for consumers.
