This document outlines food packaging and labeling regulations in India. It defines key terms and sets requirements for packaging materials, containers, and labels.
Chapter 1 provides general definitions for terms like date of manufacture, lot number, and vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. Chapter 2 establishes packaging requirements, such as materials that can contact food and guidelines for canned products and drinking water.
Labeling regulations require pre-packaged foods to display information like the name, ingredients, nutrition facts, date marks, and country of origin (if imported). Special provisions address labeling of edible oils, restricting exaggerated claims. Advertising cannot mislead consumers or contradict food safety laws.
