New Delhi: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has made it mandatory for specified logos to be displayed on the packaging of milk, milk products and composite milk products from July 1, 2028, under its second amendment to the labelling and display regulations.

To advertise here,

The new rules prescribe minimum logo sizes based on the area of the principal display panel of the packaging. Accordingly, logos must measure at least 6 mm for packages with a display panel of up to 100 sq cm, 8 mm for panels measuring more than 100 sq cm and up to 500 sq cm, and 12 mm for panels measuring more than 500 sq cm and up to 2,500 sq cm.

For packages with a principal display panel exceeding 2,500 sq cm, the minimum logo size has been fixed at 16 mm.

The amendment is expected to require dairy companies and manufacturers to revise their existing packaging and labelling designs to ensure compliance with the new requirements before the rules come into effect.

The regulations will apply from July 1, 2028, giving manufacturers time to make the necessary changes to their packaging.
