The Center has clarified that it has not issued a warning label for popular Indian snacks such as samosas, jalebis or laddos.

The Union Health Ministry on Tuesday made it clear that there is no step to label or target foods sold by road sellers, and the advisor does not single -handedly sing Indian Street Food.

Instead, the Ministry of Health recently issued a general health advice with the aim of encouraging healthy food options in workplaces.

This includes having educational boards in office places like lobby, canteen, cafeteria and meeting rooms. These boards are designed to increase awareness about the harmful effects of eating too much sugar and fat, which are often hidden in many foods.

Read in the statement of the center,

The ministry said that this effort is as a reminder to help people help make better food decisions. It is not focused on any specific foods, but is about promoting a healthy lifestyle as a whole.

Along with messages about food, the advisor also includes suggestions to increase physical activity, such as using stairs, taking low walk brakes, and choosing healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables and low -fat foods.

This effort is part of the major programs of the ministry under the National Program for prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NP-NCDs), as India is facing a growing health crisis of heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure.

Eating too much oil and sugar is a major cause behind the increasing number of cases of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and other lifestyle related diseases in the country.

Kicking in Nagpur

The campaign is being closed in Nagpur, in which AIIMS Nagpur has been selected as a pilot site for initiative.

As part of the scheme, the public food fields in cafeteria and campus will start pouring bright, easily read boards near food counters. These boards will share simple messages to help people understand the health risks of eating too much sugar and fat.
