India: India Provides a Six-Month Timeline Extension for Brand Name-Trademark Disclaimer on Front-of-Pack Labels

On July 5, 2023, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) notified Direction No. I-94/FSSAI/SP (Claims and Advertisement)/2017. The notification was subsequently published on the FSSAI website on July 6, 2023. The FSSAI direction extends the compliance timeline by a period of an additional six-months for sub-regulation (7) of Regulation 4 of the Food Safety and Standards (Advertising and Claims) Second Amendment Regulations (2022), that deals with the disclaimer for brand name/trademark on the front-of-pack labels. The second timeline extension is granted to give additional transition time for stakeholders to exhaust their current inventory of old packaging materials. With this second additional six-month extension, the new effective compliance date is December 12, 2023.
