FSSAI Mandates Clear Labeling of Chicory Content on Coffee Packaging from July 1

India to Introduce Chicory Content Disclosure in Coffee Products

Beginning in July, the Indian government will require coffee manufacturers to display the percentage of chicory content on coffee powder packs. This move aims to provide consumers with transparency and accuracy regarding the ingredients in their coffee products.

Chicory, a plant-based ingredient, is often added to coffee blends to enhance flavor and texture. However, the exact proportion of chicory in coffee products has not been clearly disclosed to consumers. This new regulation will change the way coffee powder packs are labeled, making it easier for consumers to make informed purchasing decisions.

The introduction of this labeling requirement is expected to promote competition and innovation in the coffee industry. By providing consumers with clear information about the ingredients in their coffee, manufacturers will be incentivized to develop high-quality, authentic products that meet consumer expectations.
