Government adds Jalebis And Samosas On The Health Alert List, Like Cigarettes

Health Alert List:  India’s favourite morning breakfast, Jalebi and Samos, will soon come with a health warning beside it alerting the consumers about the amount of sugar, oil, and trans fat it contains. 

All government eateries and canteens will soon display a health alert risk on Jalebi and Samosa like cigarettes for the high amount of oil and sugar they contain, to make the consumer pause before making a choice, as the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare directed.

The decision comes in the light of the growing silent epidemic of obesity, rapidly rising and estimated to increase to 45 crores by 2050.
