To ensure healthy eating, India may make food labelling mandatory

In a positive sign, India is reportedly working towards making food labeling mandatory. The step may make companies that manufacture packaged food describe the nutrition data with greater clarity and less ambiguity.

This in turn may help millions of Indians who suffer from obesity. India is a country of more than a billion people out of which about 135 million suffer from obesity.
