The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has issued a warning about potentially misleading food labels on packaged items. It highlighted that sugar-free foods might be high in fats, and packed fruit juices could contain as little as 10% fruit pulp. In its recently issued dietary guidelines, the ICMR stated that health claims on packaged food are designed to catch consumer attention and convince them that the product is healthy.
