FSSAI Launches New Digital Tool To Combat Misleading Food Claims

In an era where consumers are increasingly conscious about the food they consume, ensuring accurate and truthful labelling is of paramount importance. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has taken a significant step forward in this direction by introducing a new digital utility that allows consumers to report misleading or false claims on food product labels directly. This initiative not only promotes transparency but also strengthens food safety regulations across the country.

On 30th April 2025, FSSAI announced the launch of a new digital tool that empowers consumers to report misleading claims on food products. This move is part of FSSAI's ongoing efforts to protect consumer rights and ensure that food labelling is accurate and truthful. Consumers can now lodge complaints regarding false or misleading claims displayed on packaged food items through the Food Safety Connect mobile application or via the Food Safety Compliance System (FoSCoS)
