FSSAI proposes banning added sugar in infant foods
Original: FSSAI proposes ban on added sucrose and fructose in foods for infants up to six months
India's food regulator FSSAI has proposed prohibiting added sucrose and fructose in foods intended for infants up to six months old. The draft measure aims to reduce early sugar exposure, which health experts link to childhood obesity and long-term metabolic problems. Nutrition advocates have long pushed for stricter rules on baby food formulations, and the proposal is expected to go through public consultation before any final decision.
Why now: The proposal touches on child health concerns and affects a large infant food market, prompting debate among parents and health experts.
