The decision follows representations from industry stakeholders regarding the practical challenges of displaying the earlier prescribed declaration box, particularly on smaller packs with limited display space. Under the revised interim guidelines, manufacturers must clearly declare the percentage of coffee and chicory on the front of the package using a simplified text-based format, with specified minimum font sizes based on the package\u2019s Principal Display Panel (PDP) area. The directive aims to improve label clarity, enhance transparency, support regulatory compliance, and ensure consumers receive accurate product information while the formal amendment to the regulations is finalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-23-at-22.30.20-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-23-at-22.30.20-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-23-at-22.30.20-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-23-at-22.30.20-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-23-at-22.30.20.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a new directive revising the front-of-pack labelling requirements for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1758"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1760,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1758\/revisions\/1760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foodnewsindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
