FSSAI regulations mandate proper packaging and labelling to protect consumer health and promote informed choices. Non-compliance with packaging and labelling regulations under FSSAI may result in penalties, fines, or even legal action against the food business. Moreover, inadequate or incorrect labelling can mislead consumers, pose risks to their health, and harm the reputation of the brand.
