To fight obesity, govt to make labelling on snacks a must 

The government is likely to make food labeling on snacks mandatory keeping in mind the risk of growing obesity among people.

The government has tasked the food safety regulator, FSSAI, to take the lead along with the food and consumer affairs ministry to implement this, according to the “action points” prepared after PM Narendra Modi’s meeting with secretaries early this month.
