AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: The Indian government has agreed to expand its food‑labeling rules to require red warnings on products that contain any single high‑risk nutrient, such as sugar, salt or fat. The change follows a judicial review that questioned the regulator’s two‑phase plan, which had initially limited warnings to items high in two or more nutrients.
