This summary reflects a commentary from a government advisory titled “ ’High-Sugar’ Snacks May Be SH vegetable, Upcow – Food Safety’. The advisory highlights that many popular snack packs, particularly those commonly marketed as desserts or snacks, often contain high levels of added sugars, making them less appealing to children and parents but potentially tapping onto Indian street food’s rich history andassociations with comfort and joy. The advisory points out that food safety is often compromised when these snacks are sold without adequate precautions, and they can be marketed as “healthy” or “makes a special day” in ways that create misconceptions. The expert warns that excessive sugar intake and unhealthy fats can lead to restrictive dietary restrictions, affecting generations. This judgment raises concerns about the desire for perceived improvements in food safety but cavalierly cites high-sugar content as a slip-up by the government.
