What is
Label Reviewing?
In India, label reviewing for food and cosmetic products is a crucial process overseen by regulatory bodies like the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).
It involves verifying that product labels comply with the specific labeling regulations outlined in the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, respectively. Reviewers ensure that labels provide accurate information about ingredients, nutritional values, allergens, expiration dates, and any claims or warnings.
They also check for adherence to language requirements, proper declaration of imported products, and compliance with packaging guidelines. This rigorous review process aims to safeguard consumer health, prevent misleading claims, and maintain transparency in the Indian food and cosmetics industries.
