For this, an expert committee has been formed which will prepare the report based on these suggestions.

ICMR had warned- Label claims on packaged food can be misleading
The Hyderabad -based National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) has issued a dietary guideline for Indians under the Indian Council of Medical Research i.e. ICMR. NIN said, “Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) has strict criteria, but the information on the label can be misleading.”
Giving some examples, NIN said that a food product can be called ‘natural’, if it has not been added to added colors, flavors and artificial substations and it goes through minimal processing.
Label, Ingridients and other information should be read carefully
NIN said, the word ‘natural’ is often used, even if only one or two natural items are included in packed food. In such a situation, it can be misleading, so people need to read material and other information carefully. For better health, check the claims made on the label of packed food.
