Restaurants can no longer add “LPG charges” or “gas surcharge” to your bill - the consumer watchdog has made it clear: this is an unfair trade practice. What this means for you: • The menu price is the final price (excluding taxes) • No forced add-ons under fancy names • You can refuse to pay such charges Why this matters: Charging extra for fuel or gas separately is just a workaround to pass on business costs - something consumers shouldn’t bear directly. If you spot such charges - question it, refuse it, report it. 🔗 Read more: business-standard.com/industry/news/… #ConsumerRights #KnowYourBill #FairPricing #FoodTransparency @jagograhakjago

Front-of-pack labels are not just a policy — they’re a public health tool that help people make quick, informed decisions. The question is: Who benefits from the delay — consumers or industry? #RightToKnow #FoodLabelling #PublicHealth #FSSAI #KnowYourFood #FoodLabels

Why does this matter? Because without clear, front-of-pack warnings on high sugar, salt, and fat, consumers are left guessing what they’re really eating. And the cost of this delay? 📈 Rising obesity 📈 Diabetes & lifestyle diseases 📉 Informed consumer choice (con't👇) #RightToKnow #FoodLabelling #PublicHealth #FSSAI #KnowYourFood #FoodLabels

India’s front-of-pack food labelling rules are stuck in delay - something even the system itself admits is “unusual.” Despite growing health concerns and repeated push from the Supreme Court, the regulator has again asked for more time to finalise these rules.

At a recent FSSAI meeting, the debate over front-of-pack warning labels is heating up. Consumer groups & health experts are pushing for clear warning labels on foods high in sugar, salt, and fat - to help people make informed choices. Industry players, however, are resisting - raising concerns over impact on business and product perception. Meanwhile, India is already facing a surge in lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension - making transparent food labelling more urgent than ever. The big question: Should public health take priority over industry interests? Because what’s on the front of the pack could shape the future of India’s health. 🔗 Read more: theprint.in/health/yes-or-… #FrontOfPackLabelling #RightToKnow #FoodPolicy #PublicHealth #FSSAI #HealthyIndia @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA
