With reference to pre-packaged items in India, it is mandatory to the manufacturer to put which of the following information on the main label, as per the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011? 1. List of ingredients including additives 2. Nutrition information 3. Recommendations, if any, made by the medical profession about the possibility of any allergic reactions 4. Vegetarian/non-vegetarian Select the correct answer using the code given below.

States the FPO mark is a mandatory certification mark on processed fruit products and is displayed on packaging, implying specific labelling requirements are prescribed for certain food categories.

A student could infer that if specific categories have mandatory marks, the FSS/FSSAI likely prescribes other mandatory labelling elements (like ingredient lists) and should check the 2011 Regulations or sample packaged fruit product labels to confirm.

Explains that some producers must obtain certification and display logos for items affecting health (examples include food colours and additives), indicating regulators require particular labelling for health-relevant inputs.

From this pattern one could reasonably suspect FSSAI rules mandate disclosure of additives/ingredients and verify by consulting the Packaging & Labelling Regulations or inspecting labels of products containing additives.

Notes that FSSAI issues regulations (e.g., for organic foods) that dictate how products are labelled and certified, showing FSSAI uses regulation to mandate label content for specific product claims.

Use this as a template: if FSSAI mandates label elements for 'organic', it may similarly mandate ingredient listing for pre-packaged foods — check the text of the Packaging & Labelling Regulations 2011 or certified packaged-food examples.

States the presence of the FSSAI symbol on packets indicates government testing and confirms that government agencies provide certifications that confirm products meet minimum quality standards — implying regulatory control over labelling.

This suggests a regulatory framework controlling label claims; a student could inspect FSSAI-labelled products or the 2011 Regulations to see whether ingredient lists are among required label elements.

Observes that provisions of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006 are not always effectively complied with, implying that while regulations (including labelling) may exist, enforcement/compliance can vary.

This warns a student that finding some packaged goods without ingredient lists could reflect poor compliance rather than absence of a rule; so verification should rely on the regulation text rather than label surveys alone.
