The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is drafting a "zero added sugar" regulation for infant foods targeting babies aged 6 to 24 months. This move aims to curb childhood obesity and prevent metabolic diseases by restricting refined sugars like sucrose and fructose, allowing only natural lactose. The policy will impact both domestic and imported baby foods.

The proposal is part of an ongoing overhaul of baby food regulations as of March 2026, aimed at improving nutritional standards for India's 25 million annual births.

The regulation is designed to ensure that the initial foods consumed by children promote better long-term health rather than early reliance on added sweetness.
