1. FSSAI’s 2026 amendment overhauls non‑retail food container labelling, adding mandatory traceability and clear “NON-RETAIL CONTAINER” identification from July 1, 2027.
2. New exemptions refine nutritional information requirements, notably for infant nutrition, minimally processed raw agricultural foods, and low-energy health supplements/FSDU in tablet or capsule form.
3. Logo display and warning rules are updated, including relaxed logo use on very small packs and revised warnings for pan masala and Aspartame-Acesulfame sweeteners.

On March 30, 2026, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) officially released the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) First Amendment Regulations, 2026. This amendment introduces critical updates to the mandatory labeling rules, specifically overhauling the requirements for non-retail containers, modifying nutritional information exemptions, and refining warning declarations for specific food categories. The amended regulations will officially come into force on July 1, 2027.
