FSSAI mandates new logo on milk, curd and paneer packets from July 1, 2028: What to know
The logo will feature a white droplet set against a blue square background. The initiative is intended to make it easier for shoppers to distinguish dairy products at the time of purchase and ensure consistency in food labelling across brands.
Starting July 1, 2028, a new symbol will appear on milk, curd, and paneer packaging across India as mandated by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This uniform logo, a blue-and-white droplet on a blue square background, aims to simplify consumer identification of dairy products, ensuring consistent labelling across brands.
The initiative responds to consumer awareness needs and facilitates easier access to product information. The logo's size varies based on the principal display panel on the packaging, with minimum dimensions set for different panel sizes. Manufacturers have until July 1, 2028, to comply with the new labelling regulations, which are part of the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Second Amendment Regulations, 2026.
