Eat Right Movement by FSSAI
Due to increase in non-communicable diseases such as ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke, diabetes, etc. as a result of current dietary trends, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched “Eat Right Movement” on July 10, 2018. The movement was started to nudge the companies and consumers to focus more towards healthy and nutritious food habits. The movement has received well support by fifteen major players from the packaged food industry – Nestle, Mapro, MTR, Britannia, Bikanervala, Patanjali, Bagrry’s, Hindustan Unilever, Weikfield, Kraft Heinz, Del Monte, Haldiram, Kellogg’s, ITC and Marico as well. They have signed up with voluntary commitments to begin reducing salt and sugar in their products by 2020.
