Question

With reference to pre-packaged items in India, it is mandatory to the manufacturer to put which of the following information on the main label, as per the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011?
1. List of ingredients including additives
2. Nutrition information
3. Recommendations, if any, made by the medical profession about the possibility of any allergic reactions
4. Vegetarian/non-vegetarian
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Accepted Answer

As per the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011, certain information is mandatory for pre-packaged food items to ensure consumer safety and informed choices. This typically includes: the list of ingredients (including additives), nutrition information (such as caloric value, protein, fat, carbohydrates), and declarations regarding vegetarian/non-vegetarian status (often indicated by a green or brown dot). These are crucial for consumers to understand the product's contents and dietary suitability. Statement 3, 'Recommendations, if any, made by the medical profession about the possibility of any allergic reactions,' is generally not a mandatory labeling requirement for all pre-packaged items, although allergen information (like nuts, soy, gluten) itself is often mandatory for common allergens. The specific phrasing 'recommendations... by medical profession' makes this statement unlikely to be a general mandatory labelling requirement.
