India's food safety authorities are stepping up their scrutiny of eateries nationwide, leading to the suspension of operations and the seizure of potentially harmful food items. The introduction of front-of-pack warning labels is a major focus, aimed at highlighting the health risks of foods high in sugar, salt, and fat.
