The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has published a draft amendment to the Food Safety and Standards (Foods for Infant Nutrition) Regulations, 2020. This proposed change aims to prohibit the addition of sucrose and fructose in food products intended for infants up to six months of age. The restriction is aimed at promoting appropriate infant nutrition and supporting healthy growth and development during the crucial first six months of life.
