The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has recently proposed significant amendments aimed at regulating the use of the term 'paneer' in food labeling. This regulation intends to ensure that only products made from genuine milk-derived ingredients can be labeled as paneer. By doing so, the FSSAI seeks to protect consumers from misleading claims regarding dairy products, thereby fostering greater transparency in the food market.
This initiative aligns with the FSSAI's ongoing mission to enhance food safety standards across India.
- Consumer protection through accurate labeling — The proposed amendment aims to provide clarity and assurance to consumers regarding the authenticity of paneer products.
