India proposes front-of-pack warning labels for packaged foods after public outcry

The ‌move is a major setback for food companies in India's over $100 billion market where Coca-Cola and industry groups representing Nestle and PepsiCo have long opposed such labels, saying they are confusing

Coke, Nestle, and Pepsi are the opposition. They absolutely know labeling changes user behavior and should be held liable for perjuring themselves when addressing a government body.

During a tense March meeting, industry executives argued that such warning labels were confusing and ineffective, and urged a focus on encouraging portion control, according to recordings reported by Reuters this week.

lol

They sure spend a lot of time and money to oppose such an ineffective measure.

consumers and health experts have expressed their anger on social media

That's the public outcry. The headline made me think there were food-labeling rallies outside government buildings or something.
