On January 6, 2026, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) updated its policy for implementing labeling amendments. Now, all changes to labeling and display regulations as well as updates to labeling provisions in other Food Safety and Standards regulations, will take effect annually on July 1. FSSAI will provide a minimum transition period of 365 days (one year) from the notification date before enforcing new requirements. This policy replaces the previous published version issued on January 3, 2025. The change aims to give food business operators greater predictability and support smoother compliance.
