Sub: Comments on the (FSSAI Notification Std / SP-08 / T / FoPNL – N – 01, New Delhi dated 13th September 2022)
Sir,
Thank you for the information and the invitation for objections or
suggestions to the above notification, I am happy to submit as myself survivors
of COVID in April 2021 and I received treatment for 12 days in ICU (Annexure
1). My life partner and son also
suffered from COVID so we were dependent on packet foods then I became aware
about unregulated packet foods. I am
also Bachelor in Ayurveda, Modern medicine and Surgery (BAMS) from State
Ayurvedic Medical College, Gurukul Kangri, Haridwar. Please find my writing on
this: https://junputh.com/column/

MY OBJECTIONS to the as follows in brief:
- Why give 4 years to the industry for a label, it is not understandable?
- Why call these packaged food products to be “healthy” in section 14.2(b)
- I cannot understand the logic that unhealthy food becomes healthy by adding fruits or vegetables or nuts in it.
- Why doesn't the government tell people what is a harmful food product and why?
- This notification is complex, unable to understand the scoring system.
- It simply does not tell me the food is harmful.
My suggestions in brief are as follows. Details suggestion attached as attachment (Annexure 2):
- Make use of 14.1 of regulation “For the purpose of Front of Pack Nutritional Labelling (FOPNL), the baseline reference values for four health risk increasing factors i.e., energy, total sugars, saturated fat and sodium per 100 g or 100 ml of the product”
- Issue simple warning on FoPNL if the Food product is HIGH in any of the risk factors as per the definition of High Fat Salt, Sugar (HFSS) food.
Thank them for the opportunity.
With Kind regards,
Lenin Raghuvanshi
