Proof, not promises: New food products to get strict checks; FSSAI makes scientific evidence mandatory
India's food regulator, FSSAI, will now mandate scientific evidence for all food safety reviews and standard changes from January 1, 2026. Submissions must detail nutritional information, consumption patterns, toxicological studies, and allergy risks specific to Indian consumers. This move aims to ensure practical, science-based, and safer food regulations for the public.
