FSSAI left in limbo as Food Authority remains unreconstituted weeks after term ends

India's food watchdog, FSSAI, faces a regulatory vacuum. The Food Authority's term expired, leaving it unable to approve new regulations or policy decisions.

The Supreme Court deadline for front-of-pack warning labels is also at risk.
