Many of you asked how to identify organic products in India. So here’s a simple guide. 👇

🌿 1. Jaivik Bharat Logo

This is FSSAI’s official organic identity mark. It helps consumers identify certified organic food sold in India. If a packaged food claims to be organic, this is one of the first logos you should look for.

🌿 2. India Organic Logo

This logo means the product is certified under the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP). It confirms that the product meets India’s official organic production and certification standards.

🌿 3. PGS India Organic Logo

PGS stands for Participatory Guarantee System. This certification is commonly used by small and marginal farmers following recognized organic farming practices. Products carrying this logo are also certified organic in India.

🌿 4. USDA Organic Logo

Some products also carry the USDA Organic logo, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. It certifies that the product complies with US organic standards. However, this logo is not mandatory for organic products sold in India.

⚠️ Don’t get fooled by the word “Organic.”

Simply writing “Organic” on the packaging does not make a product organic.

✅ In India, before buying an organic product, always look for:

• Jaivik Bharat logo
• India Organic logo, or
• PGS India Organic logo

These certification logos are the easiest way to identify certified organic packaged products in India.

I recently had the privilege of being part of a discussion panel on ET Now Swadesh, where we discussed a topic that deserves every parent’s attention: How Junk Food Is Affecting Children’s Health.

Some alarming facts:

1. India is projected to have 41 million children living with obesity by 2035, making it one of the countries with the highest burden of childhood obesity in the world.

2. Childhood overweight and obesity are rising steadily across India and are no longer limited to affluent families. The trend is now being seen across both urban and rural populations.

3. Frequent consumption of ultra processed foods and sugary drinks is associated with a higher risk of childhood obesity and several lifestyle diseases later in life.

4. Children living with obesity are at a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease at an earlier age.

As parents, we often tell our children what they should eat. But children learn far more from what they see than from what they hear.

If you want your child to eat home cooked food, let them see you enjoying home cooked food.

If you want your child to stay active, let them see you exercising.

If you want your child to choose healthier foods, let them see you making healthier choices every single day.

Our children don’t simply follow our advice.

They follow our example.

Let’s raise a generation that learns healthy habits from home, not from advertisements.

At first glance, I genuinely thought she was washing mehndi off her hands.

But a closer look revealed something far more disturbing. The dark stains on her hands were not from mehndi, but from chemically colored tea leaves.

800 kgs of adulterated tea leaves were seized by the Food Safety Department in Shahpur, Uttar Pradesh. The unit was sealed, samples were sent for testing, and an FIR is being lodged against the accused.

Food adulteration in India seems to be reaching deeply alarming levels. Incidents like these raise a serious question about the safety of the food we consume every single day.

How much of what we eat and drink is truly authentic?
And more importantly, how much adulteration is still going undetected?

This is not just food fraud.
This is a serious public health concern.

D Mart’s haldi masala and red chilli powder have now failed lab testing 4 times. Yes, 4 times.
At this stage, there is hardly any room left for ambiguity.

And yet, these products continue to be sold openly, while consumers continue to purchase and consume them, often unaware of the concerns being raised.

What is equally concerning is the company’s response, or the lack of a meaningful one. Apart from 1 social media post asserting that their masalas meet quality standards, there has been little by way of explanation, transparency, or accountability.

My question to FSSAI, India’s apex food regulator, is a simple but important one.

When the same products have repeatedly failed lab tests and public concern is growing, why not step in and conduct independent testing?

And if these products fail again, why not hold the company accountable and initiate appropriate regulatory action?

This is not about sensationalism.
This is about consumer safety, regulatory accountability, and public health.

At the very least, this is an intervention the regulator can and should make.

Looking for high protein pastas? Here are my recommendations.

Regular pasta typically provides around 11–14 g protein per 100 g, whereas these options offer significantly higher protein, making them a great way to increase your protein intake.

1. The Lean Co High Protein Penne Pasta
2. Prolicious Penne Pasta
3. Mille High Protein Penne Pasta (Gluten free)
4. Pink Harvest Green Dal Edamame Pasta (Gluten free)
5. Pink Harvest Red Lentil Pasta (Gluten free)

These are available across most major online shopping platforms.

Not all street food is unsafe, but not all food vendors follow basic hygiene either.

This video is a reminder that how food is prepared matters just as much as what is being served.

Clean ingredients alone are not enough if the manufacturing process is unhygienic.

Whether it is street food or packaged food, hygiene should never be optional.

As consumers, we need to look beyond taste and price.

Food safety is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

Always choose vendors who prioritize cleanliness.

When you pick up a biscuit called Cashew Biscuit or Pista Badam Biscuit, and you see those big beautiful nuts on the pack, what do you naturally assume?

That nuts must be a significant part of the product.

But when we actually turn the pack around and read the label, the story changes.

In Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, cashew is just 1.4%.

In Britannia Good Day Pista Badam Cookies, the total nut content is only 4%.

So what is the biscuit primarily made of?

Mostly maida, palm oil, sugar, and invert sugar syrup.

Now, let me be very clear.
I am not saying these biscuits are bad.
I am not saying you should stop eating them.

That is not the point.

The point is this:

As consumers, we often form opinions based on the front of the pack, not the back of the pack.

And that is where marketing becomes powerful.

A product does not need to lie to mislead.
Sometimes, it simply needs to highlight one ingredient and make it emotionally bigger than it really is.

That is why I keep saying this again and again:

Don’t just read what is marketed to you. Read what is actually sold to you.

shocking video is circulating online from Vaishno Devi. A customer allegedly found a cockroach inside a hot dog purchased from Café Coffee Day. What happened next was even more bizarre, the shopkeeper allegedly ate the cockroach to deny the claim. But eating the evidence does not fix the hygiene issue. What is happening with food safety these days?

Another Zepto store flagged in Hyderabad. Serious food safety violations found. 🚨

The H FAST Hyderabad team inspected Zepto’s Mallepally store and reported multiple serious hygiene and food safety violations, including:

⚠️ Cockroach infestation
⚠️ Rodent infestation
⚠️ Severe hygiene lapses inside the store

What makes this even more concerning is that this is not the first time Zepto has come under the scanner in Hyderabad.

On 18 June 2026, during an inspection at Zepto’s Chandrayangutta warehouse, authorities reportedly found:

⚠️ Expired food products
⚠️ Improper storage / stock management issues

Repeated violations across different Zepto locations raise serious concerns around food handling, hygiene standards, and consumer safety.

Convenience should never come at the cost of food safety.
