India's Supreme Court Presses Government on Food Warning Labels

India's Supreme Court on Monday questioned the government's plan for fresh consultations before adopting warning labels on packaged foods, asking why it wanted to 'waste so much time.' The court's push comes amid an unprecedented food safety crackdown, with raids and closures nationwide over hygiene lapses. Big food firms do not oppose labels but seek changes to thresholds.
