FSSAI proposes ban on added sucrose, fructose in foods for infants up to six months
India’s food safety authority, FSSAI, has drafted regulations to prohibit the inclusion of added sucrose and fructose in any food products intended for infants younger than six months. The government’s statement says early exposure to such sugars may influence taste preferences and increase the risk of unhealthy eating patterns later in life, prompting the proposed ban.
