The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has made it mandatory for all approved vegan food packages to display a specified ‘vegan’ logo.The directive comes after FSSAI notified the Food Safety and Standards (Vegan Foods) Amendment Regulations, 2026. The regulation, aimed at ensuring standard compliance and boosting consumer trust, will come into effect from July 1, 2027.According to the notification, every package of vegan food will now be required to carry the specified green “Vegan” logo featuring a leaf symbol, once approval is granted.Detailed diagrams specifying the logo, including size, placement and colour standards, will be provided in the notification to guide manufacturers.The amendment follows a draft notification issued in December 2022, during which objections and suggestions were invited from stakeholders over a 60-day period. After reviewing feedback, FSSAI finalised the changes to the 2022 Vegan Foods Regulations to standardise labelling and promote consumer confidence in vegan products.
