The Economic Survey 2024-25 in India has called for stricter front-of-the-pack labelling rules for the ultra-processed food industry. Many countries have already implemented the Nutrient Profile Model for labelling. The survey also suggests that awareness of ingredients, ill effects of ultra-processed foods, and healthy food choices should be included in school curriculums.

India's consumption of ultra-processed foods has seen a significant increase in recent years.
