2. In the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling & Display) Regulations, 2020 (herein after referred as said
regulations), -
(1) in Chapter-1, in regulation 2 relating to“Definitions”, after clause (i), the following shall be inserted,
namely, -
“(ia) Front-of-pack nutrition labelling (FOPNL)is a form of supplementary nutrition information that
presents simplified nutrition information on the front-of-pack of pre-packaged foods. It can include
symbols/graphics, text or a combination thereof that provide information on the overall nutritional value of
thefood and/or on nutrients included in the FOPNL”.
“(ib) High fat, sugar, salt (HFSS) foodmeans a processed food product which has high levels of saturated
fat or total sugar or sodium. The declared values of these ingredients are such that the product; does not
satisfy the value of energy (kcal) from total sugar less than 10 percent of total energy, or from saturated fat
10 percent of total energy, and sodium less than 1 mg/1 kcal.”
(2) in regulation 5relating to “Labelling Requirements”,-
(a) in sub-regulation (2), after clause (b), the following proviso shall be inserted, namely, -
“provided that the percentage of Fruits, Vegetable, Nuts, Legumes & Millets, if present in the food
product, shallbe declared”.
(b) in sub-regulation (3), in sub-clause (ii) of clause (b), after item (D)relating to “Sodium (mg)”, the
following shall be inserted, namely, -

namely, -

14. Indian Nutrition Rating (INR)
(1) Baseline Reference values and Categories
For the purpose of Front of Pack Nutritional Labelling (FOPNL), the baseline reference values for four
health risk increasing factorsi.e.,energy, total sugars, saturated fat and sodium per 100 g or 100 ml of the
product; and, the minimum percentage of positive nutrientsviz., fruit & vegetable (FV); nuts, legumes &
millets (NLM); fibre and protein for consideration in the calculation for rating of a specific solid foods or
liquid foods, is provided in Table-1 of Schedule–III.
Further, all processed and packaged food products covered under the extant FSS Regulations are
classified into three categories viz., CATEGORY-I (Solid foods), CATEGORY-II (Liquid foods) and
CATEGORY-III (Exempted from FOPNL).The system of pictorial display format shall be referred to as
Indian Nutrition Rating (INR).The baseline reference values for food risk factors and minimum
percentage of positive factors; INR baseline points for Category-I; INR baseline points for Category–II;
capping of positive points; formula to calculate star rating and associated interpretation are provided in
Table 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 of Schedule- III, respectively. The list of solid foods/liquid foods under Category-
III (exempted from FOPNL) are provided in Schedule-IV.
Provided that any beverage/carbonated beverage without energy and/or sugar shall not be eligible for
declaring Star Rating (INR).
(2) Pictorial Display Format
(a) Every packaged food except those exempted from nutritional information under these regulations, shall
display the prescribed format (INR) on front of pack calculated on the basis of contribution of energy
(in kilo calories; kcal), saturated fat (g), total sugar (g) and sodium (mg) and the positive nutrients per
100 g of solid food or 100 ml ofliquid food on a „as sold‟basis, usingthe formula mentioned in Table-
5 of Schedule–III.44272/2022/REGULATION-FSSAI36

(b) The INR system rates the overall nutritional profile for packaged food by assigning it a rating from ½
star (least healthy) to 5 stars (healthiest). More stars indicate that the food product is better positioned to
provide for daily human need of nutrients. The format of logo for INR is as indicated below:
The logo shall be displayed close in proximity to the name or brand name of the product on front of pack.
Provided that food business operators may give optionally additional interpretive information as per serve
percentage contribution to RDA of energy, total sugars, saturated fats and sodium expressed as salt
equivalent, along with the INR logo as illustrated below:
*The display size of additional interpretive information may be specified as 25% of main INR logo. A-
same as the height of main INR logo. B-1/4thof the height of the main INR logo.

(3) Generation of INR logo
TheFBO shall submit their product‟s relevant nutrient profile in the FoSCoS system for generating the
respective INR score and the logo with or without the optional interpretive information.
15.Food products with milk logo as specified under Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and
Food Additives) Regulation, 2011 shall be exempted from the purview of HFSS definition.”
