પાન મસાલા ખાનારાઓ અને વેચનારાઓ ખાસ ધ્યાન આપે… FSSAI એ પ્લાસ્ટિક પેકેજિંગ પર મૂક્યો સંપૂર્ણ બાન, જાણો નવો નિયમ

According to a report by TV9 Gujarati, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has implemented stricter regulations regarding the packaging of pan masala and related tobacco products. The new guidelines mandate a shift away from the use of plastic and synthetic materials in the packaging process, citing both environmental concerns and health safety standards.

Under these updated rules, manufacturers are now required to transition toward more sustainable and eco-friendly packaging alternatives. The regulatory body has indicated that materials such as paper, glass, and tin are preferred for the distribution of these products. This move is part of a broader effort by Indian authorities to curb the environmental impact caused by non-biodegradable waste generated by the tobacco industry.

Industry stakeholders and retailers are being urged to ensure compliance with these standards to avoid potential penalties. The FSSAI has consistently moved toward tightening packaging norms for food and stimulant products to ensure that chemical leaching from plastic containers does not pose a risk to consumers. Further updates regarding the implementation timeline and enforcement measures are expected to be communicated to distributors in the coming weeks.
