In May 2018, FSSAI submitted it's first draft in the Parliament saying there would be a RED MARK on the FRONT OF THE LABEL if the pack contained food with high amounts of SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. In September 2022, because of the pressure from the food industry (inspite of resistance from the consumer organizations), FSSAI submitted another draft favoring the star rating system.
In 2024, 3S and our health society filed a PIL in the Supreme Court saying that FSSAI should make FOPL warning mandatory.
On 10th Feb 2026, Supreme Court directing FSSAI to consider implementing FOPL warning and to get back in 4 weeks. FSSAI asked for some more time. There was a stakeholders' meeting on the 19th of March 2026 where most of the people werefrom the food industry and a few were from the consumers. A couple of representatives from NAPi were there, including @Moveribfan
Anytime, the FSSAI will submit it's final plan now.
We, Indians have to put such tremendous pressure on FSSAI that it won't have a choice but to go for FOPL warning that warns every innocent ignorant Indian as well, about the packed food being high in SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT.
It is time all the influemcers and all the people rise up to the occasion and let FSSAI know what we need, just like how we did when there was a stay order (when Kenvue asked for a stay citing that recalling its 180 crore stock would spoil the name it had built for two decades) on the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th asking companies not to have ORS in the branding or on the label, and to not use the term ORS for marketing of beverages/foods. ORS is a drug. Only CDSCO can give permission/licence. Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on the label.
Not just adults, even children are facing tremendous risk of obesity related complications with the food industry targeting them through various marketing strategies including celebrity endorsements.
PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNING! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI!

One killed journalist might be a tragic accident.
Two killed journalists are undeniable attempts to intimidate journalists and suppress freedom of press.
Over 260 dead journalists in 2.5 years is the works of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the history of the world.

Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA
Israel does not target journalists. On April 22, Hezbollah terrorists violated the ceasefire in Lebanon and endangered IDF soldiers. After countless warnings including in this specific area Hezbollah operated, the IDF acted to neutralize an imminent threat posed to IDF soldiers. The IDF is reviewing reports that journalist Amal Khalil, who was present alongside the terrorists during their operation, was hurt in the strike. Israel targets terrorists and regrets any harm caused to those not involved in terrorist activity.

So according to the science:
Aluminum in deodorant is bad, but aluminum in pharmaceutical products is good.
Mercury in fish is bad, but mercury in pharmaceutical products is good.
Formaldehyde in flooring is bad, but formaldehyde in pharmaceutical products is good.
Glyphosate in food is bad, but glyphosate in pharmaceutical products is good.
And most importantly, people who reject pharmaceutical products are bad, and people who gladly accept them are good.
It almost seems like science will conclude just about anything as long as
they profit from it.

We didn’t need WiFi to make dinner.
We didn’t need software updates to heat leftovers.
We didn’t need a login to use a refrigerator.
Those machines just worked.
For decades.
No drama.
No subscriptions.
No planned obsolescence.
Now everything’s "smart," and somehow breaks faster, costs more, and needs an app to turn on.
We didn’t upgrade appliances.
We inherited them.
And they outlasted half the stuff being sold today.

In 1900, the average British village of 400 people contained, at minimum:
A butcher. A baker. A grocer. A dairyman. A cobbler. A blacksmith. A wheelwright. A brewer. A tailor. A carpenter. A midwife. An undertaker. Usually a fishmonger if the village was within twenty miles of a coast. Occasionally a fellmonger, a candle-maker, or a chandler. Always a publican.
Fifteen to twenty productive trades, serving four hundred people, most of them operating out of front rooms or small outbuildings, most of them self-employed, all of them depending on and supplying each other in a web of local exchange that had been running since the Middle Ages.
In 2026, the same village of 400 people contains, typically:
A Spar. Or a post office with three shelves of food in it. Or nothing.
People drive twenty miles to a Tesco. The butcher is gone. The baker is gone. The dairyman is a distant memory. The blacksmith is a man in his seventies doing wrought iron gates as a hobby.
This was not inevitable. This was a set of specific policy decisions taken between about 1960 and 2000, many of them on the grounds of efficiency, scale, and consumer choice.
The consumer got cheaper food. The consumer also lost the village. The village lost the people who knew how to feed it directly from the land around it. The land around it lost the market for anything it could produce in small quantities.
And the nation, which still has the land and the rain and the soil and the cattle and the sheep and the people, discovered that it could no longer feed itself from the things that were still, just about, growing outside the window.
You cannot eat efficiency. Somebody should have mentioned that at the time.
