Draft regulation, now being finalised, says schools must take concrete steps to ensure that only healthy food is served on campuses. No food categorised as HFSS (high in fats, sugar and salt) may be offered or sold within 50 m of a school campus.
The new guidelines issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India places a mandate on packaged food companies to label high fat, high sugar and high salt content on the front of the package, using a traffic light signalling system.
