The FSSAI has issued a draft with respect to the dimensions of vegan logo, which has been made mandatory under the labelling requirement of Vegan Regulations.
“The seller of vegan food either exclusively or as part of retail merchandise shall store and display such food in a manner distinguishable from non-vegan food,” reads the vegan regulation adding that every package of vegan foods, after the approval, shall carry the logo as specified by the FSSAI.
The FSSAI has sought comments from the stakeholders on the draft.
According to the vegan regulations, “vegan food” means the food or food ingredient, including additives, flavourings, enzymes and carriers, or processing aids that are not products of animal origin and in which, at no stage of production and processing, ingredients, including additives, flavourings, enzymes and carriers, or processing aids that are of animal origin have been used.
Every package of vegan foods, after the approval, shall carry the logo as specified below
