While there’s a lot of discussion on worsening of nutrition indicators in Indian children in past few years, here’s our work on reversing not only wasting & underweight but even stunting in children of slums! Do read to understand what it takes!! https://t.co/zVztjN4SVD

Look at the advertisement of Nutri Choice Biscuits: Junk Food Product
The Britannia Nutrichoice Digestive High Fibre Biscuit is High in added sugars(12.1g), total fats (20.8g) and sodium (362 mg )per 100g as per NIN Guidelines for Indians. As per NOVA classification it is Ultra-Processed Food product containing emulsifier, invert sugar syrup, raising agents, malt extract, artificial flavouring substances and dough conditioner.
These biscuits cannot be considered healthy.
Yet advertised as a ‘healthy’ and ‘good choice’ on World Health Day and endorsed by none other than Amir Khan.
Question : Shouldn’t Junk Food Ads Go Off Print & Air?
Appreciate your response !!

Have you ever wished medical insurance was simpler, cheaper, and faster? Andy Schoonover explains how his company, CrowdHealth, is able to save tons of money on meds and services for its members simply by skirting around the middle men.

Junk food is all over. Labels dont tell upfront its sugar, fat or salt content

This amounts to promotion of infant formula which is prohibited.
And the Teddy bear on the label is also prohibited @Amul_Coop
Why it is so difficult to abide by the law ?
@MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @PMOIndia
Must look into

Here is my Opinion in the @the_hindu where I talk about flaws in existing regulations that aim to control front of the pack labelling and advertising of ultra processed food products/HFSS or Junk food.
It’s not fair to public health.
