Food regulator FSSAI today said it will soon come out with new regulations relating to labelling of packaged food products and incorporate the expert panel’s suggestions for reducing consumption of fat, sugar and salt. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will also frame a definition of junk food, its CEO Pawan Kumar Agarwal said. Agarwal said there is no definition of junk food and even this panels’s report has not defined it. The FSSAI, he said, is launching food safety training and certificate programmes through both offline and online system. “With the scale we are contemplating, this is a massive exercise in raising the food safety standards in the country,” Agarwal said.
