What is Label Reviewing?

In India, label reviewing for food and cosmetic products is a rigorous verification process overseen by apex regulatory bodies: the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).

This process involves meticulously auditing and cross-verifying product retail layouts against the statutory mandates specified under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (along with the Cosmetics Rules, 2020). Comprehensive technical review protocols verify that labels state precise ingredient declarations, nutritional indexing, allergen disclosures, validation codes, and accurate best-before metrics. Furthermore, compliance checks encompass language rules, strict font specifications, mandatory symbols, and accurate import data declarations. This strategic verification process serves to protect public health, prevent misleading marketing claims, and guarantee full legal transparency within the Indian food and cosmetics ecosystems.
