Ashwani Maindola, New Delhi
The food authority has decided to extend the timeline for compliance of the provision of warning statement for ‘pan masala’ specified in the FSS Labelling and Display Second Amendment Regulations, 2022.  

The food businesses were given three months to comply with the provisions that specify ‘the warning statement must cover 50% of the front-of-the pack of the label’ from August 1, 2023.  

“It has been decided to further defer the enforcement of the ‘note’ i.e., ‘the warning statement must cover 50% of front of the pack of the label’ in schedule –II of the labelling and display second amendment regulations for a period of 03 months from 1st August 2023,” reads the order issued by the FSSAI.  

The said rule was set for commencement from May 1, 2023, but stakeholders made a representation before the food authority and sought time for compliance.  

“Representation has been received from association requesting an extension of time period for compliance of the ‘note’ amendment so as to exhaust the packaging material having the existing warning and to arrange for the new packaging material,” said Dr Amit Sharma, Director, Regulation Division, FSSAI, and added that after due consideration it has been decided to further defer the enforcement of the ‘Note’ for a period of three months from August 1.  

Earlier, the food authority extended the compliance timeline for a period of three months from May 1, 2023, which was the original deadline for the compliance.
