Hard-handed Indian official urges food firms to be ethical amid labelling, ingredients row
India's food safety commissioner urged companies to adopt ethical practices and consistent nutrition standards globally. He questioned why companies maintain different product recipes and labeling for the Indian market. This official's comments follow a report revealing varied sugar content in popular beverages sold internationally. Companies also successfully lobbied against front-of-pack warning labels in India, despite their use elsewhere.
