The Union Health Ministry has released an advisory urging workplaces to display informative boards on oil and sugar to spread awareness about hidden fats and excess sugar in foods.

These boards, to be placed in canteens, lobbies, and meeting areas, aim to encourage healthier food choices and daily habits.

It does not mandate warning labels on traditional snacks like samosa or jalebi and does not target Indian street food.

Instead, it promotes general lifestyle changes under the NP-NCD programme, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, choosing low-fat options, walking more, and taking short activity breaks to reduce lifestyle diseases.
