Labelling norms hit hotel menus

New instructions from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on labelling of imported food and alcohol have sent city hoteliers and restaurateurs into a tizzy. Consignments of black olives, a few brands of olive oil, a popular Swiss chocolate brand, a number of gluten-free products, nachos, Southeast Asian sauces and noodles, certain wines, beer and scotch whisky have either been rejected or stalled at various ports causing massive financial loss.
